Hull Designs: The secret of exceptional performance

Boat hulls are like airplane wings; they're responsible for the vast majority of the boat's performance. A superior-designed hull will handle and perform better on the water. It's that simple.

Genmar offers a wide array of proprietary hull designs, each engineered for specific boating applications. Whatever your reason for being on the water, be it deep sea fishing, water skiing or anything in-between, Genmar has the right hull to make your every boating experience a comfortable and pleasurable one.


Duo Delta Conic™
Quick planing and minimal bow lift are performance features of Larson's Duo Delta Conic hull. It has a notched running surface that creates a wave of water pressure under the aft hull section to lift the transom on acceleration. At speed, the hull is supported at two smaller points - the notch and transom - allowing the hull to glide over water more efficiently than a standard deep V hull. You get a higher top speed, excellent stability at low speed, enhanced range and better fuel economy.

Super Stable-Vee®
Glastron's Super Stable Vee hull is unlike any other hull on the water. It allows the boat to plane smoothly, effortlessly and faster than most boats. The hull maintains its plane at lower speeds and allows for an impressive top-end speed and agile handling around corners. And with less boat in the water, fuel economy is maximized as well. It's just about everything a runabout owner would want in a boat.

Ranger VX Series Hulls
Ranger Boat's VX Series hull design provides you with a combination of stability, smooth ride and handling ease in the turns. At the stern, an integrated engine setback delivers quick, responsive hole shots, as well as creating more space for the rear deck and virtually eliminating backwash from sudden stops. Incorporation of a forward extended beam, produces a larger front deck as well as greater stability. The Rite-Track keel™ minimizes lateral wind drift for easier trolling and better directional control. These innovations combine to produce a boat with unprecedented fishability. At Ranger, the bottom of your fishing boat is just as important as the top, which is one of the many reasons Ranger continues to lead the industry.

Alan Stinson Bass Boat Designs
Since the late 1970s, Alan Stinson has been cutting the edge of innovative bass boat design. The first to truly marry high performance with function and styling, Stinson has left his mark on the evolution of bass boat designs. As Director of Engineering for Stratos/Champion Boats, Stinson's specialty is fine-tuning hull designs to outboard motors so that the two components work as a unit to ensure a smooth, dry ride and blazing top-end speed, even when fully loaded with anglers, fuel and gear. Larry Nixon, pro bass fishing's all-time money winner, has never been satisfied with any boat other than a Stinson design: "My bass boat is my office, and once you've fished from a boat designed by Alan Stinson everything else comes up short. The interiors of his boats anticipate the angler's every need—everything is exactly where it should be. Performance? Alan wrote the book on it. Every one of his boats that I've owned has run faster, smoother and drier than the last. The man is practically relentless in his pursuit of bass boat perfection." Stinson leads the Stratos/Javelin team with quality products and innovative design.
