ABSTRACT:
A boat construction incorporating unique structural features for improved performance at a variety of speeds and water depths. The hull of the boat incorporates a deep-V forward section and a rear tunnel section extending longitudinally rearward from a midpoint of the boat. A vertically adjustable outboard is positioned at the forward end of the tunnel section of the hull. The outboard engine may be vertically adjusted to accommodate different water depths and operational requirements. The engine is positioned within a console above the midpoint for convenient maintenance access and insulation against engine noise. Steering may be accomplished by rotating the engine itself or separately through rudders mounted to the hull. The center mounting of the engine in conjunction with the tunnel section of the hull reduces planing upon acceleration, improves center of gravity and reduces the risk to swimmers and water skiers from a rear mounted propeller.
