Abstract

A vessel having a stern and a bow, a deck having a top surface and a bottom surface; a first outer pontoon, a second outer pontoon, a central pontoon, and the motor pod each disposed below the deck and mounted to the bottom surface of the deck. The central pontoon is disposed between the first outer pontoon and the second outer pontoon, wherein the outer pontoons are spaced apart. The motor pod is disposed behind the central pontoon and between the first outer pontoon and the second outer pontoon. The motor pod defines a running surface, wherein the vessel is capable of planing on the running surface. The motor pod supports a motor at the rear. The vessel provides the ride characteristics and stability of a pontoon-style vessel at rest and at lower speeds while also providing the performance, maneuverability, and turning radius characteristics of a V-hull sport boat.
