This fishing boat with Deep-Vee Hull is used on boats operated in wavy water or on boats that go farther offshore. This type of hull is probably the most common hull design.
Most manufactures of boats built today use modifications of this design. Disadvantages: Takes more power to move at the same speed as flat bottom hulls. This fishing boat with round-bottom has mostly a displacement hull and is usually used for dinghies, tenders and some car-top boats. The round-bottom hull type gives a soft ride, but rocks back and forth more than a flat-bottomed boat.
Advantages: This hull is rounded to allow the boat to travel through water easily at slower speeds to limit the amount of drag on the boat. Disadvantages: Smaller boats like sailboats and canoes that have a rounded hull can be very unstable. Has a tendency to roll unless it has a deep keel or stabilizers.
Advantages: This boat hull style has two or more hulls attached closely together for more stability without extra width. Disadvantages: It gives a rougher ride in choppy water because of the increased surface at the bow.
The side hulls can cause pounding, resulting in a lot of spray. Cathedral Hull content courtesy of www. Learn about different types of engines in our next section.

Fast, distance fishing boats like center consoles tend to have a V bottom so they can run fast on open water to get to the fishing grounds quickly. Tri-Hull or Tunnel Hull: Popular with fisherman as well as with sport boat enthusiasts, tri-hulls, also called cathedral hulls, have a combination M-shaped bottom.
They offer good volume below and significant deck space above. Pontoon: Pontoon boats ride on typically aluminum tubes. Traditional pontoons have two tubes but newer designs have three and are called tritoons. Pontoon boats are all about deck space and make excellent boats for families and entertaining on the water. Learn More: Tritoon vs. Semi-displacement hulls combine rounded sections for increased storage and tankage, and flatter hull sections to partially lift the forward part of the hull out of the water, thereby decreasing drag at high cruising speeds.
They generate large bow and stern waves and may need high horsepower engines to get on plane. Larger, cruising motor yachts lean toward the semi-displacement design. Boats with separate and distinct hulls are called multi-hulls and can be catamarans or trimarans.
Multi-Hulls can be either power or sailboats and have displacement or planing hulls depending their shape and the size of their engines. Catamarans: Catamarans have two hulls with a deck or trampoline in between. Their benefits include excellent stability and depending on size and type, significant living space aboard.
In all but the most severe sea conditions, a well-designed deep-vee is an excellent choice when the objective is to transit from Point A to B. A good planing boat has to be able to run well in all directions to the sea.
A moderately sharp entry and generous deadrise with high chine elevation in the forward half of the hull allows the boat to keep running at high speed in rough water without pounding passengers into submission. There should be adequate deadrise aft so the boat tends to run in a straight line, rather than constantly yawing off course; deadrise in a deep-vee acts like a keel while allowing it to heel into a turn for better control and passenger safety.
Excessive bow immersion, especially running down-sea, turns the bow into a rudder and makes the boat very difficult to control, easily leading to a broach, which in very rough water can result in capsizing.
Stepped hulls are a subset of planing hulls. These boats have transverse step pockets in the bottom, with the hull section immediately abaft the pocket slightly higher in elevation than just forward.
At high speeds, the water flow past the recessed pocket creates a low-pressure area that draws in ambient air and blankets the hull just aft. In simple terms, reducing hull surface in direct contact with the water reduces drag, and the boat goes faster. Hull steps work extremely well at high speeds — in the plus-knot realm — adding 5 to 10 knots to some boats, according to designers.
They are also more sensitive to weight additions, particularly extra weight up high, with the risk of excess chine immersion blocking air flow to the steps and causing a sudden low-pressure spike and loss of directional control. They demand a higher level of skill and attention by the operator. That said, they make a boat faster and more efficient at high speeds. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 34's semidisplacement hull gives it some of the stability and seaworthiness characteristics of a displacement hull while offering more speed.
A semidisplacement hull has a nearly flat buttocks aft, with the transom immersed below the waterline, which with enough power applied allows the stern to create lift so the boat can climb on plane. The shape of the bow should also be such that it lifts as well as displaces. A boat can never drive through its bow wave; it has to climb up over the wave, with the operative word being climb.
Boats that spend most of their time at or below hull speed benefit from round bilges, which create less wake-making resistance. Boats running faster than 16 knots benefit greatly from having hard chines, however, because the sharp corner at the intersection of bottom and sides creates flow separation, breaking a sheet of water away from the hull, which reduces frictional drag. The hard chine hull also has more surface area for lifting when on plane, which reduces the dynamic bottom loading and helps the boat to plane with less energy and at a lower speed.
So a boat with a LWL of 35 feet will plane at The Maine lobster boat, with its full keel, round bilges and lift-generating hull shape, is one of the best-known semidisplacement hull forms, although even this class of boat has a lot of variety in lines and proportions. Semidisplacement boats are often heavier than full planing boats, and they often have deeper and finer hull sections forward, producing a comfortable ride and easy motions.
In terms of agility and speed, they are firmly situated between displacement and planing hulls. They can make excellent rough-water boats if properly designed, with much of the solidity and comfort of the displacement hull but also a good run of speed, often into the high or low knot range.
At these speeds, a high percentage of propulsion power goes into pushing the keel through the water and overcoming the added resistance of the hull shape.
For this reason, the hull designed for semidisplacement speeds is most appropriate for owners who are happy with to knot speeds, with a dash of capability in the low 20s.
They are ultimately very survivable, but they also need to be, given their inability to dodge bad weather. In my experience it is by far the best for crossing bars, with its twin-screw stationkeeping ability, speed, agility and natural coursekeeping ability. The planing hull also tends to be drier in rough seas. The chine flats and spray strakes forward deflect spray down and out, the higher speed capability allows these boats to drive past the spray, and spray is generated farther aft along the hull in the first place, so less of it lands on the windshield.
Furthermore, putting the rudder over when running down-sea, and the subsequent keel-induced heel outboard, diminishes steering control that much more, just when you need it most. Most semidisplacement hulls are flat aft, and although this helps with efficiency and load-carrying ability, it also detracts from down-sea directional stability. Digital Boat Show. Under 40'.
