Cutwater boats all feature the signature keel stepped hull bottom with tapered intake tunnels that disperse a smooth flow of air evenly through designated portions of the running surface, while at the same time vectoring air away from the propeller. A keel pad runs through the length of the bottom to maximize lift and add stability. This along with so many other innovative ideas have made cutwater a leader in the marine manufacturing world.
