This invention is a two tunnel, four hull, trimaran-catamaran, flying boat that incorporates hydrodynamic planing surfaces with the benefit of aerodynamic lift. A boat that accommodates two people, such that, the pilot and passenger sit back to back in a low, semi-reclining position in a distinctive fuselage along the centerline, situated between and below a wing structure on either side, and thus forming the mid-structure of a trimaran. This fuselage flys in air above the water line. A streamlined canopy structure is located overhead and above the wing. The horizontal wing structure forms two tunnels below, each on either side of the centerline fuselage, providing a chamber for aerodynamic lift. Outboard of the wings are the catamaran hull arrangements with two hulls forward of amidship in parallel, followed in tandem by two hulls aft. The four hulls provide hydrodynamic lift.

1. A planing trimaran boat comprising a centerline hull and a continuous fuselage above a waterline surface, said hull supported on each side by a pair of opposing wings, each said wing located above the lower portion of said fuselage, and lying substantially in a horizontal plane, said wings forming a pair of tunnels that collect air, the outer portion of said tunnels formed by opposing catamaran hulls, and a forward termination of the bow of the centerline structure, such that the upper portion is defined by a quasi-spherical nose cone shape, while the lower portion merges into a conical “V” section. 2. A boat as in claim 1, wherein two hulls are situated in parallel fore of the midship and two hulls are situated in tandem and parallel aft, said fore and aft hulls separated by one of a gap or step. 3. A planing boat comprising a hull having a chine substantially in the form of a sine curve, the forward portion of the sine curve rising to facilitate a fine bow entry at two front fore hulls, having an after portion that sweeps upward such that a spray rail is created above a lower chine at two aft rear hulls, said lower chine rising at the forward end of the aft hulls to form a bow shape; said chine merging into the upper portion of one of a gap or step between the fore and aft hulls and the bottom of a run of the aft hulls and after portion of the fore hulls having substantially a uniform deadrise angle, said angle progressively increasing toward the bow of the fore hulls. 4. A boat as in claim 1, further including a sheer line curve that sweeps substantially back in parallel to a sine curve chine forming a side of the fore and aft hulls. 5. A planing boat aerodynamic process comprising: (a) Forcing air below two wings forming two adjacent tunnels, said tunnels separated by a centerline hull;(b) Providing a top and bottom pressure for vertical stability at high velocity while funneling air below the wings for lift;(c) Compressing forced air between a wing surface and a water surface creating a high pressure area below the wing while the aerodynamic shape of the top of the wing and hull structure create a low pressure area inducing partial aerodynamic lift;(d) ventilating a set of openings forming a thru chamber at the high point of the sheer that serves as an entry point for one or more of air ventilating the cabin compartment, and allowing engine heat to escape into the outside. 6. The process as in claim 5, further including aerodynamically lifting a wing located athwartship at the transom such that a supplemental aerodynamic lift is provided. 7. The process as in claim 5, whereby locating a pilot and a passenger in a position below the wing in a centerline hull above the water line such that a lower center of gravity provides transverse and lateral stability and said low position coinciding with center of the roll axis. 8. The process as in claim 7, where the centerline hull is substantially airborne.
