What will make a boat hold weight?

How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat.

The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.

What kind of boat hull can hold the most weight?

A big one with lots of freeboard and either inboard engines or an outboard platform like the offshore center-console fishing boats have. How they calculate the safe capacity of a boat is simple: they put the boat in the water and add weight until water comes in to determine the displacement weight. Then they divide by five to reach the safe weight capacity. Therefore it stands to reason that the farther you can push the boat into the water before it sinks, the more safe weight it can carry.
