Vessel having extensions for supporting swim platform and concealing outboard engines

A vessel comprising:

• a hull with a bottom and a transom and a plurality of outboard engines mounted to said transom;
• starboard and port hull extensions formed on said hull and extending behind said transom wherein said hull extensions include a first horizontally extending section located aft of said transom and having a lower surface which joins said hull at a location below the waterline of the vessel but above the surface of the bottom of said hull, an intermediate section aft of said transom and extending from said first section in an upwardly inclined aft-facing direction, and a third generally horizontal section aft of said transom coupled to said intermediate section and extending aft;
• wherein said hull extensions are spaced apart a distance to allow said plurality of outboard engines to clear said hull extensions during use, and wherein said hull extensions extend aft a distance to clear the rear of said outboard engines mounted to said transom;
• and
• a swim platform positioned between said hull extensions.

A vessel comprising:

• a hull with a transom for holding at least one outboard engine having a cowl;
• an engine cover positioned over an outboard engine when mounted to said transom;
• and
• a mist shield surrounding said engine cowl, said shield having edges spaced from said cowl and a flexible member extending from said edges into engagement with said engine cowl.

A vessel comprising:

• a hull with a transom for holding at least one outboard engine having an engine cowl;
• starboard and port hull extensions formed on said hull and extending behind any outboard engines mounted to said transom;
• an engine cover positioned over an outboard engine when mounted to said transom;
• and
• a mist shield surrounding said cowl, said shield having edges spaced from said cowl and a flexible member extending from said edges into/engagement with said cowl.

A vessel comprising:

• a hull with a transom for holding a plurality of outboard engines having cowls;
• spaced-apart starboard and port hull extensions formed on said hull and extending behind outboard engines mounted to said transom, said extensions not affecting the performance characteristics of the vessel;
• and
• an engine cover positioned over outboard engines when mounted to said transom, said cover enclosing and concealing outboard engines from view.

A vessel comprising:

• a hull with a transom for holding a plurality of outboard engines having cowls;
• starboard and port hull extensions formed on said hull and extending behind outboard engines mounted to said transom;
• and
• an engine cover positioned over said outboard engines when mounted to said transom and further including a mist shield surrounding said cowls, said shield having apertures with edges spaced from said cowls and brushes extending from said edges into engagement with said cowls.
