Abstract: An improved shallow water fishing boat hull includes a generally S-shaped chine segment having a sloped intermediate portion that is intersected by the mean waterline. One or more generally Shaped strake elements may be formed along the hull adjacent to the chine segment. Due to the chine configuration, the bottom of the hull intersects the plane of the water at an increased angle so that unwanted and fish distracting hull noise is reduced. The chine segment and the strakes also form spray deflectors.

Abstract: An assembly is provided for housing multiple waste receptacles. The assembly includes a generally hollow enclosure that has a floor portion, a pair of spaced apart side portions attached to and extending upwardly from the floor portion, a rearward portion interconnecting the side portions and an opening into the interior of the enclosure, which opening extends between the floor portion and an upper edge region of the rearward portion and further extends between the side portions. A door is hingedly connected to at least one of the upper edge region of the rearward portion and side portions. The door is selectively raised to expose the opening, whereby waste receptacles may be introduced into and removed from the enclosure, and lowered to generally close the opening. The door has a plurality of drop holes in communication with corresponding waste receptacles in the enclosure for receiving waste therethrough and directing the waste to the corresponding waste receptacles.
