Abstract
A hydroplane boat having a hull with two V-shaped sections separated by a step in the hull surface and continuous chines from stem to stern. The void created by the step is preferably provided with air by vents located between the chines, the vents having intakes internal to the boat structure. The hull includes concave portions just aft of the step separated by a pronounced keelson and tapering into a V-shape at the transom, such that the hull portion aft of the step describes a generally hook shaped surface.
