Patent number: 4619215Abstract: A deep vee entry hull is disclosed and includes a central running surface flanked in the after portion thereof, by inboard, intermediate and outboard running surfaces. The central and inboard surfaces terminate at the aft ends thereof in a first transverse step while the intermediate running surfaces terminate in a second transverse step aft of the first.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1985Date of Patent: October 28, 1986Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4398483Abstract: Porpoising control in a high speed planing hull is effected during straight, on plane running and in turning maneuvers by a novel configuration of aft tapered wedges bridging the aft, exit ends of the outboard and next adjacent, inboard running surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1981Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Company, IncorporatedInventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4361102Abstract: High speed turning characteristics of a vee type planing hull are increased by the use of after, outboard running surfaces which are concavely configured and include transverse wedges across the after, inboard halves thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1980Date of Patent: November 30, 1982Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4233920Abstract: The performance characteristics of a vee type planing hull are significantly increased by a combination of features for reducing drag and increasing attitude control.Exemplary of the former are a concave running pad to which air is inducted to reduce hull drag and an angled transom terminating at a transverse hull "step" which permits the outboard propulsion unit to be carried higher reducing unit drag. The presence of longitudinal "wedges" increase hull lift as planing speed is approached allowing the hull to plane at a lower speed.Transverse wedge elements positioned outboard of the concave running pad maintain a stern lifting torque for controlling bow up angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1979Date of Patent: November 18, 1980Assignee: Wood Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Forrest L. Wood, Dale H. Jensen, Kenneth P. Poley, Charles C. Hoover, Gary L. Wilson

Patent number: 4033280Abstract: A high speed open fishing boat construction has a hull portion, a top liner portion joined to said hull portion, and a fish live well assembly formed integral with the top liner portion and positioned so that its center of gravity is located on the longitudinal centerline of the top liner portion. The improvement comprises a common water inlet-outlet located in the rear of the hull portion, an aerator connected in the live well assembly for spraying water therein, a pipeline system connecting the inlet-outlet port with the aerator, and a remotely controlled cut-off control valve connected in the pipeline system for opening and closing water flow through the inlet-outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1976Date of Patent: July 5, 1977Assignee: Wood Manufacturing Company, IncorporatedInventors: Forrest L. Wood, Maurice (Mickey) Carroll Wood
