1. A pontoon boat, comprising: a pair of spaced-apart and substantially parallel pontoons secured to a deck disposed therebetween, wherein each one of the pair of pontoons comprises a substantially circular cross-section, and wherein the pontoons are configured to include a submerged portion and an unsubmerged portion, the unsubmerged portion including at least part of the substantially circular cross-section;a hull secured to the deck and disposed between and substantially parallel to the pair of pontoons, wherein the deck defines an opening extending into at least a portion of the hull underneath the deck, and wherein the hull comprises an essentially flat bottom and essentially flat sides;an enclosure, comprising: an upper section extending upwardly away from a topside of the deck;a lower section having at least a portion thereof extending through the opening defined by the deck and into at least the portion of the hull underneath the deck; anda doorway;one or more propulsion systems; anda helm. 2. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein a bottom of the lower section extending into the hull defines a floor of the enclosure;a top of the upper section defines a ceiling of the enclosure; andthe enclosure further comprises one or more steps between the doorway and the floor. 3. The pontoon boat of claim 2, wherein the enclosure comprises a headroom for at least one adult standing upright. 4. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein the hull and the pair of pontoons are integrated as a system that emulates a mono hull. 5. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein a volume of water displaced by the hull is greater than a volume of water displaced by either one or both pontoons. 6. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein the hull submerges deeper than either one or both pontoons. 7. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein a perimeter of the hull in contact with water is greater than a perimeter of one or both pontoons in contact with water. 8. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein: the hull comprises a non-circular cross-section. 9. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein a bottom of the hull has a radius of curvature greater than a radius of curvature of a bottom of either one or both pontoons. 10. The pontoon boat of claim 1, further comprising one or more lifting strakes disposed on an exterior surface of the hull and on an exterior surface of one or both pontoons. 11. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein the hull and the pair of pontoons are integrated as a system for enhancing one or more of: buoyancy;structural integrity;stability;agility;maneuverability;steering;handling;load carrying capacity; andhydroplaning. 12. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the lower section not extending into the hull is supported at least in part by at least a portion of the deck. 13. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein the enclosure weatherproofs an interior thereof. 14. The pontoon boat of claim 13, wherein the enclosure comprises at least one of the group consisting of: one or more bunks;one or more benches;lighting;a dinette;a galley;a head;a shower stall; anda changing stall. 15. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein the enclosure comprises at least one of the group consisting of: a hatchway;a skylight;a window; anda ventilation opening. 16. The pontoon boat of claim 1, wherein an exterior of the upper section comprises one or more platforms. 17. The pontoon boat of claim 16, wherein at least one of the one or more platforms comprises a backrest. 18. A flotation system, comprising: a pair of spaced-apart and substantially parallel pontoons secured to a deck disposed therebetween, wherein each one of the pair of pontoons comprises a substantially circular cross-section, and wherein the pontoons are configured to include a submerged portion and an unsubmerged portion, the unsubmerged portion including at least part of the substantially circular cross-section;a hull secured to the deck and disposed between and substantially parallel to the pair of pontoons, wherein the deck defines an opening extending into at least a portion of the hull underneath the deck, and wherein the hull comprises an essentially flat bottom and essentially flat sides; andwherein, a volume of water displaced by the hull is greater than a volume of water displaced by either one or both pontoons. 19. The flotation system of claim 18, wherein the hull and the pair of pontoons are integrated as a system that emulates a mono hull. 20. The flotation system of claim 18, wherein a volume of water displaced by the hull is greater than a volume of water displaced by either one or both pontoons. 21. The flotation system of claim 18, wherein the hull submerges deeper than either one or both pontoons. 22. The flotation system of claim 18, wherein: the hull comprises a non-circular cross-section. 23. The flotation system of claim 18, wherein a bottom of the hull has a radius of curvature greater than a radius of curvature of a bottom of either one or both pontoons. 24. The flotation system of claim 18, further comprising one or more lifting strakes disposed on an exterior surface of the hull and on an exterior surface of one or both pontoons. 25. The flotation system of claim 18, comprising: one or more propulsion systems; anda helm. 26. The flotation system of claim 18, further comprising an enclosure, comprising: an upper section extending upwardly away from a topside of the deck;a lower section having at least a portion thereof extending through the opening defined by the deck and into at least the portion of the hull underneath the deck; anda doorway. 27. The flotation system of claim 26, wherein a bottom of the lower section extending into the hull defines a floor of the enclosure;a top of the upper section defines a ceiling of the enclosure; andthe enclosure further comprises one or more steps between the doorway and the floor. 28. The flotation system of claim 26, wherein the enclosure weatherproofs an interior thereof.
