The Port Erie Catamaran bottom design corrects turbulence and cavitation, allows it to run in very shallow water, and delivers a far superior ride in rough water. The motor is mounted higher and takes advantage of the water rising through the tunnel as the catamaran moves. As the water rises through the tunnel it compresses the air above and creates a cushion. This is part of the reason the boat does not pound in rough water and is capable of running straight into a Lake Erie 3-4 foot chop at a sustained 20 knots.
