Is it that Michael Peters designed these boats because no one else could because he owned the patent rights to the stepped Hull.

An unreliable source once told me that DC's old boat was a Peter's design.

What a fortunate and brilliant man Michael Peters is. I didn’t realize much of this. Also some great flashbacks and pics. What boat is the Scorpion race boat from 89. Awesome running boat!

The platinum raptor is a V bottom.
