Abstract
A watersports boat offering improved wake scaling includes a hull having a static flow plane and an operating plane separated by an operating angle, rear corners of the hull each defining a distinct transition from a respective side of the hull to a transom of the hull. A shape of the outer perimeter of the hull along the operating plane includes a pair of outward curves, each outward curve curving away from a hull centerline moving forwardly of a respective one of the rear corners of the hull.
Claims19
A watersports boat comprising:
- a hull having a transom;
- and
- a surf system including a controller and plates extendable past rear corners on opposite sides of the hull adjacent the transom, each of the rear corners marking a distinct transition from a respective one of the sides of the hull to the transom;
- wherein the controller is configured to partially extend both of the plates beyond the opposite sides of the transom;
- wherein along an operating nominal water line region of the hull, a shape of an outer perimeter of the hull curves away from a hull centerline moving forwardly of the rear corners.
2 more elements
A watersports boat offering improved wake scaling comprising:
- a hull having an outer perimeter defining a first nominal waterline region corresponding to a nominal water line when the watersports boat is not in motion in water and a second nominal waterline region corresponding to the nominal water line when the watersports boat is moving forward through the water, the second nominal water line region separated from the first nominal water line region by an operating angle, and the hull having opposite sides each transitioning to a transom of the hull;
- wherein a shape of the outer perimeter of the hull along the second nominal water line region includes a pair of outward curves, each outward curve curving away from a hull centerline moving forwardly of the transom.
