All of the Baja's I've seen don't have step bottom hulls.
Do they offer step bottom hulls on their boats?
Just curious if anyone knows the real reason why?

I think they don't make step hull so they ride better. We have lots of people who tell us how good ours rides. I know the step hulls are faster but don't ride as good as ours does.

Your good ride is coming from your steep deadrise, distinctly characteristic of a Baja. I don't think I would say a stepped hull would make the ride any worse (definitely faster though). My boat's stepped and has a padded keel, and she rides like a dream. Completely speed minded, but still handles the rough stuff (within reason of course) for a 27 footer.
And, no, I've never seen or heard of a stepped Baja.

Baja has probably spent a great deal of time and effort in identifying their market.
If it ain't broke ..... why fix it!
Those who prefer the speed of a stepped hull probably wouldn't buy a Baja anyway

Griff,
Thanks for the correction, Didn't mean to pass along bad information.
I'm a big fan of the Checkmate look. I have owned 2, sold them both because of the ride.
