ABSTRACT:
An attachment for forming a rearward extension of the hull of a boat is secured to a transom of the boat to form an extension of an underside portion of the hull and comprises a hollow body having a substantially flat surface and a bottom surface shaped to conform to the after end of the hull underside portion. A forward portion of the top surface of the hull extension is pivotally connected to the transom to allow pivotation of the extension between a lowered position, for cruising and rough weather conditions, and a raised position, for planing, in which the top surface of the hollow body is located adjacent the transom. A hydraulic piston and cylinder device is provided for effecting the pivotation of the hollow body.
