ABSTRACT:
An improved V-bottom hull for sport/utility boats is formed with intermediate lifting strakes along the aft half of the hull bottom. Such intermediate strakes are positioned laterally along the boat bottom between the planing pad step and the chine. These intermediate strakes are proportioned to provide a strake riser face width that is about 1 in. or greater and a horizontal tread width of the strake of less than about 3 in. An included angle between the tread surface and the riser face is preferably between about 95.degree. to about 110.degree.. The riser face intersection with the adjacently higher bottom surface panel is faired with a longitudinal fillet.
