Abstract:
A vessel hull for an inboard-powered marine vessel includes a hull body having a hull bottom that includes a contoured pod mounting surface positioned longitudinally between a central keel and a stern of the hull body. The contoured pod mounting surface has a planar mounting face, for mounting a propulsor pod, and a transition face each positioned between peripheral edges of the pod mounting surface. The transition face slopes forwardly and downwardly from the planar mounting face to the central keel and follows a contour defining a sine wave pattern.

Claim (Index 18):
A vessel hull for an inboard-powered marine vessel comprising:\n a hull body including a bow having a forwardly positioned nose, a stern having a rearwardly positioned transom, an upper hull body side, and a lower hull body side having a hull bottom; the hull bottom including a first hull bottom side surface and a second hull bottom side surface, the first hull bottom side surface and the second hull bottom side surface adjoining one another in a V-pattern so as to form a central keel extending rearwardly from the bow, and a deadrise at the stern; the hull bottom further including a contoured pod mounting surface positioned longitudinally between the central keel and the stern, and latitudinally between the first hull bottom side surface and the second hull bottom side surface; the contoured pod mounting surface having a planar mounting face, for mounting a propulsor pod, and a transition face each positioned between a first peripheral edge and a second peripheral edge, the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge extending from the central keel to the transom and being oriented so as to diverge from one another rearwardly from the central keel; and the planar mounting face and the transition face each being positioned between the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge, and the transition face sloping forwardly and downwardly from the planar mounting face to the central keel and having, in profile, a concave upward curvature adjoining the central keel.
