Deep-V

10 Reasons for a Hunt Deep-V Pilot Boat

1. Rough Water Speed The deep-V is proven worldwide as the best monohull for speed in rough water. USCG and RNLI rescue boats are deep-Vs.

2. Proven and Practical Since 1978, more practical and cost effective than exotic vessel types such as Catamaran, SWATH, SES, etc. More than 40 boats in reliable service on all coasts.

3. Straight Tracking Boat tracks straight upwind and down. Will not broach in big following seas unlike older round-bilged hulls.

4. Dryness Multiple chines and hull flare minimizes water (and ice) on deck.

5. Smoother Ride Compared to older style planing hulls, pounding upwind is less, therefore crew fatigue is reduced.

6. Stablility Proven stable alongside during boarding and in rough seas.

7. All-Speed Performance The dual-mode capability of a deep-V gives excellent performance, handling and stability at both planing and displacement speeds.

8. Safe Getaway The rounded deck line and radiussed bow and transom corners allow safe and easy getaway from a ship and there is no tendency to become stuck alongside.

9. Deck Space The full deck line maximizes the area available for safe boarding. Minimum side decks are 36 inches.

10. Construction Proven in pilot service, hulls are available in steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. Designed to classification society rules.
