A marine vessel provides a hull having a bow, stern, and port and starboard portions, and a hull bottom having port and starboard sides that form a vee shape. A channel extends longitudinally from the stern toward the bow a distance at least half the hull length, and can extend substantially the entire length of the hull. The bottom of the channel is defined in part by a portion of the hull bottom. The top of the channel is defined by one or more upper panels or surfaces that form catamaran hulls with the port and starboard sides of the hull bottom when the channel is filled with water in a non-planing hull position. The channel is above the water surface when the hull is in a planing position wherein the water drains from the channel. |
