ABSTRACT:
An improved boat hull is provided that combines the handling characteristics of a V-bottom hull with the speed and acceleration characteristics of a tunnel hull boat. The boat hull hereof includes a V-shaped outer hull portion, and an opposed pair of narrow sponsons that depend downwardly from the gunwales to individual sponson base lines positioned between 5 degrees and two-thirds the V-hull dead rise angle, as measured relative to the horizontal from the apex of the V-hull portion.
