Abstract
An improved boat hull is described. The new hull includes a bow, a stern and a lower longitudinal keel extending between the bow and stern. The hull includes a first V hull formed at the bow and a second V hull formed aft the bow. The second V hull is defined by a bilaterally symmetrical indention having a forward end and a rearward end. The indention is directed rearwardly and outwardly from the lower longitudinal keel, and the rearward end of the indention is above the water line for displacement of water toward the stern on both the portside and starboard side of the boat. The new hull provides a smooth, less jarring ride, a reduction of drag forces, and an improved load along with increased deck area.
