ABSTRACT:
A new Hydro-Lift Boat Hull for offering greater stability and higher speeds. The inventive device includes a keel portion having a keel channel provided therein, a pair of opposed chines positioned on opposite sides of the keel portion, a pair of angled panels symmetrically positioned about the keel portion intermediate the keel channel and the pair of opposed chines, and a pair of opposed gunwales extending upward from the pair of opposed chines, wherein each of the pair angled panels has a chine channel provided therein adjacent each of the pair opposed chines. The lower edge of each of the pair of angled panels extends into the water surface, whereby the pair of angled panels and the keel channel define a water capturing keel tunnel. The base portion of each of the pair of opposed chines extends into the water surface, whereby the pair of opposed chines and the chine channels define a pair of opposed water capturing chine tunnels. The water capturing keel tunnel and the pair of opposed water capturing chine tunnels capture water, compress the water, and form a keel "rail" of water and a pair of opposed chine "rails" of water, respectively, upon which the hull travels when the boat is operated.
