Two holes in the side which I'm guessing are the vents for the steps, just no cut outs in the chine. Again, maybe optical delusion?

I saw those and thought the same thing but I still don't see any steps.
What looks like a step IS a trailer reflection........I think?

Look where the trailer wheel well drops back off; shaddow/reflection is gone after that and is gone before it starts- the 1st one sort of looking like a step. If it were a step one may even say it is facing the wrong direction.

I may be on to some thing- Zeus backward drives and backward steps. Wonder is the Baron is already working on this?

Do the holes/vents flow towards the transom? Are there corresponding holes/vents in the bottom? Forcing air in from the side and out the bottom to aerate the hull?

Is that the Fury Phantom?

No. It was Reichmans old boat. Dave

Their website says...

Integral Air Inducted Bottom Lubrication System

I've seen a few Phantom's up close, it's basically a ventilated step, sorta like the OuterLimits have with Naca Ducts on the deck from what I rememeber. The outside chine does not have a step, it begins away from the outside pad.

In the attached pic you can see what I believe is the two steps.

 

[Chris]

I get the vent, but where are the steps?

 

[Geronimo36]

Here!

On the smaller ones the step is further down near the first chine to the keel, sorta like the keel is cut out.

When I first saw it I thought it was a neat design and I've never really heard anything about Phantom's spinning out.

I did hear the 34' rides a little hard but other than that it's fast!
