Best Answer

A displacement hull always displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the boat. A planing hull at a certain speed, will begin PLANING and rise partly out of the water, forced up by its v shaped hull, and only be displacing an amount of water equal to partial weight of the boat. A large ship, a tugboat, a barge, or a sailboat are displacement hulls. A speedboat or a jetski are planing hulls.

What is a type of displacement hull?

A displacement hull is an efficient, non planing hull that moves through the water at 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length (LWL). This is not "directly" related to the designed displacement of the boat, that is, usually the weight of the boat, all additional gear, fuel, water, crew, cargo and everything else on board. Besides being efficient a displacement hull is usually more capable in rough weather and requires a relatively small inexpensive engine.
