Abstract

Provided is a hull shape of a personal watercraft which can enhance speed performance, and still more, can also reduce rolling of a body. A bulging face 12 is formed on an outside part of a rear portion of a hull bottom 20 having a substantially V-shaped cross section and protrudes downward from an outside front face 20a positioned in front of the outside part. The bulging face 12 includes a fore part 13 inclined downward in the rearward direction, and a rear part 14 positioned above a virtual face A extended rearwardly from the fore part 13.
