Boat hull with center V-hull and sponsons

A hull for a boat adapted for operation on a water surface, said hull having a bow section, a mid hull section, a keel and a stern, comprising:

• a center V-hull portion extending substantially from said bow to said stern, and including a pair of angled panels symmetrically positioned about a hull center plane, said panels defining a V-hull apex line, said angled panels each defining a V-hull dead rise angle measured from said apex line relative to a normal plane containing said apex line and perpendicular to said hull center plane;
• at least one set of first and second opposed mid hull sponsons, positioned upon said mid hull section on opposite sides of said V-hull portion, each mid hull sponson including a substantially horizontally disposed running surface and connected to said V-hull portions by reverse deadrise panels, whereby said mid-hull sponsons, and said V-hull portion, together with said water surface, define a pair of mid-hull air capturing tunnels while minimizing the wetted surface area of said mid-hull sponsons;
• first and second outer V-hull panels extending outwardly and upwardly from said mid hull sponsons;
• first and second opposed outer sponsons, positioned on opposite sides of said outer V-hull panels, each outer sponson including a lower most running surface and connected to said outer V-hull panels by second reverse deadrise panels, whereby said outer sponsons, and said V-hull panels, together with said water surface, define a pair of outer air capturing tunnels while minimizing the wetted surface area of said mid-hull sponsons;
• and
• gunwales extending upwardly from said outer sponsons.
