***Update 2***
I have uploaded the soft chine version of the hull and it worked OK, but I had problems with it plowing due to the extra nose weight. This led me to create another boat from scratch which I recommend you print instead of this one. You can find it here:

The new boat has adjustable thrust angle which lets you tune for plowing/porpoising . I will leave this one up in case it helps someone by providing an idea or something to remix.
This is a prototype step hull I created after printing and enjoying SlightlyAbnormal's fantastic model . A step hull is faster than a flat bottom hull because of the air trapped under the back portion of the hull at speed. This lessens the drag and makes the hull more slippery in both forward and sideways motion. I'm hoping this will not only give the model a higher top speed, but allow it to drift like the real thing.+
I am currently printing the hull and will update with pictures and performanc
