Abstract
A ski boat for producing a relatively small, well-defined wake and a relatively smooth working table includes a V-shaped keel section. The angle of the "V" increases towards the stern of the hull. A chine panel is mounted at each of the outboard edges of the keel section. A secondary chine is located on each side of the keel section, being parallel to the centerline of the V-shaped keel section and following the contour of the keel section. A concave depression panel is located at the stern of the boat, extending forwardly therefrom into the keel section.

A ski boat for producing a relatively small, well-defined wake and a relatively smooth working table, comprising an elongated hull having a keel section generally V-shaped in cross section, the angle of the "V" increasing towards the stern of the hull, a chine panel at each of the outboard edges of said keel section, said chine panels extending from a forward portion of the hull to the stern, each of said chine panels defining an acute angle with the horizontal towards the forward end of the boat which angle decreases to provide a chine panel which is generally horizontal at the stern, a transom at the stern of the hull, said transom being bowed outwardly, an orienting panel of narrow width following the line of said transom, said orienting panel inclining downwardly from said V-shaped keel section and chine panels to said transom, and a pair of secondary chines mounted upon said keel section, each of said secondary chines being located on opposing sides of said V-shaped keel section and being parallel to the centerline of said V-shaped keel section and following the contour of said keel section.
