Why do many inland waterways have speed limits for boats?
its because of the water waves and it matters which boat should be used for the lake or island and the average
What limits the speed of boat?
Type your answer here... Mainly engine size, overall weight, hull design.
What is the fastest vehicle on water?
speed boat
How does the shape of a boat's hull affect the speed?
How does hull shape affect the speed of a boat? When trying to get the most speed out of your boat, you may want to consider how the hull shape affects the speed of the boat. "Hydrodynamic" is a term that is used when determining the motion or flow of water. It is similar to the more familiar term "aerodynamic," which relates to the flow of air. The speed of a boat is correlated to its hydrodynamic efficiency, and the hydrodynamic efficiency is determined by the shape of the hull of the boat. The hull of the boat is the first area to be hit by water as you speed forward. A round or square hull will connect with the water like a force that is pushing against it. As the force of the water hits the boat hull straight on, the boat must push the water out of the way before it can attain optimal speed. This limitation of the boat's ability to get to a higher speed quickly is known as drag, and is affected by the hull shape. A boat hull shape that is pointed allows the water to flow around the boat quickly. The less water that the hull needs to move out of the way, the faster the boat will go. How hull shape affects the speed of a boat is one factor that the military had taken into consideration when they started to build the V-shape hull design. This shape offers the most hydrodynamic efficiency, which gives the military a boat that can cut across water with little drag and perform well at high speeds.
What factor determines safe boat speed?
Hazards in the water.
What should be taken into consideration when determine boat safe speed?
The water and weather conditions, and the amount of shipping in the area. Also, in inland waters, harbours, etc. speed limits may be in force. keeping to marked channels and buoyed shipping lanes may be compulsory.

Why is a speed boat fast?
because the name speed boat means its a fast boat why else would it be called a speed boat
What is that activity called when your dragged along in the air by a speed boat?
Water Gliding
What is a speed-wand made by betzel specialty mfg. co.?
It was held over the side of a boat to judge speed of the boat while moving on water. The water would force the bubble up the tube showing the speed the boat was traveling. I just saw one in my shop that had the original instructions with it. I have a scan of the instruction sheet.
Which expressway does not have speed limits?
Parts of the German Autobahn do not have posted speed limits.
Why have we been able to build supersonic aircraft but not supersonic ships?
Because water has a greater resistance than air, so a boat would need to be incredibly powerful to go supersonic, beyond the limits of current technology. The current water speed record is 'only' 345mph.
