[0092] The disclosed watercraft hull has a flat pad keel whose beam tapers towards the bow and its beam at the transom is 15% to 25% of the hull's beam at its chines. The hull is symmetric about its centerline, has a fine entry bow, a transom, and a pair of hard chines. Between the pad keel and the chines the hull has at least one pair of generally flat panels referred to herein as longitudinal steps having approximately 0 degrees of deadrise forming planing surfaces symmetrically located about the hull centerline. The hull also includes at least one pair of ultra high deadrise panels, outboard of and adjacent to the pad keel, located symmetrically about the hull centerline, and extending therefrom to the flat planing panels above them. The ultra high deadrise panels have a minimum average deadrise approximately 50 degrees measured along their length. Additional flat planing surface structures having approximately 0° deadrise may be installed longitudinally on the hull between the pad keel and the hard chine such that the vertical offset between any two planing surfaces along the hull's stagnation line does not exceed approximately six inches. High deadrise panels or fillets with deadrise angles of between about 20 and 35 degrees may be included in the hull outboard of and adjacent to the ultra high deadrise panels and located symmetrically about the hull centerline. The fillets are tapered into wedge shapes at their forward ends to blend into the adjacent ultra high deadrise and flat planing panels.
