Not a pentamaran[edit]

The M80 Stiletto, cited as a pentamaran is the only example of its type in the article. In fact, as the image in the reference shows, it is really a catamaran with two planing hulls and some chines that tunnel air and water past them. I propose eliminating this section. I propose to eliminate the section, titled "Parallel type". I suggest that the other "pentamarans" were design concepts, only and do not achieve enough notability to justify this article.

I added a photo of the M80 Stiletto based on it being called a pentamaran in its article's infobox. After seeing this comment, I checked the working links on the M80 page, and none called it a pentamaran, instead calling a M-hull or Double M-hull ship. So I've reverted myself, and removed the link to this article from the M80 article. - BilCat (talk) 01:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the content of this article, assuming the cited sources back it up and are reliable, could be merged with Multihull. - BilCat (talk) 01:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
