ABSTRACT:
A boat includes a transom with an inboard engine disposed closely adjacently forward of the transom, a straight propeller shaft extends rearwardly and downwardly from such engine into a propeller pocket or tunnel extending from a smooth entrance end with respect to the bottom adjacent the transom, the shaft carrying a screw propeller disposed aft of the transom. The propeller pocket terminates rearwardly aft of the propeller and the transom. The tunnel and propeller are completely submerged below the at-rest waterline and the aft extension of the tunnel connects with aft extensions of the bottom to form a bottom extension generally the full width of the boat adjacent the transom. This bottom extension increases the lift of the boat if the tunnel does not interrupt the bottom, and if the tunnel does interrupt the bottom, the bottom extension compensates for the reduction of lift caused by the tunnel portion in the bottom, and a diving platform also extends across such full width above such bottom extension.
