Abstract:
A modified V-hull boat has a keel having a horizontal cross-sectional profile of an inverted foil. The leading edge of the keel is a sharp point and the front region of the keel tapers outward along the length of the keel until it reaches its widest point. The widest point is aligned with the center of gravity of the hull. The trailing edge is a rounded blunt edge. The aft region of the keel is substantially shorter in length than the front region of the keel.
Abstract:
A modified V-hull boat has a keel starting at about 20% from the bow ending 75 to 80% aft of the bow and has an inverted airfoil shape. A flat pad blends in aft of the keel assisting planning and attitude at speed. A bracket having a bottom shape and size to float a designated amount of weight and a downward angle facing down at the aft on the bottom to act as a positive planning fixed trim tape that ride's above the water at speed or on plane, and adds stability and positive buoyancy for weight of engines at rest or low speed.Chine's are the outside corner of the boat joining the bottom to the side's. The chine's taper slightly inboard aft to relieve friction and drag. Although they do not come together the chine is no way a straight line the outer edges are slightly more ellipsoidal hence the name.
