step hulls faster, with the air under there freeing up the hull.

Some builders have done a better job with their step designs than others. Overall, step hulls should see a bit of an advantage in smoother water, but there are those that question whether the change in handling is worth the potential gain. I'd say that the jury is still out. --- Jer
