A modified V-hull boat has a keel starting at about 20% from the bow ending 75 to 80% aft of the bow and has an inverted airfoil shape. A flat pad blends in aft of the keel assisting planning and attitude at speed. A bracket having a bottom shape and size to float a designated amount of weight and a downard angle facing down at the aft on the bottom to act as a positive planning fixed trim tape that ride's above the water at speed or on plane, and adds stability and positive buoyancy for weight of engines at rest or low speed. Chine's are the outside corner of the boat joining the bottom to the side's. The chine's taper slightly inboard aft to relieve friction and drag. Although they do not come together the chine is no way a straight line the outer edges are slightly more ellipsoidal hence the name.
