ANSWER: One is made for flatwater only. The other, the v-hull is made for larger bodies of water where waves occur. The vee shape cuts throught the waves better than a flat bottomed front of the boat.
Displacement: The weight of the water the boat displaces. Hull weight: The weight of the hull of the boat
The hull on a boat is the body of it. It is watertight so that no water leaks in and sinks the boat.
On the hull
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.
the hull helps keep the boat stable, if there was no hull, the boat would go in different directions
A hull is the watertight body of a ship or boat. Above the hull is the superstructure and/or deckhouse, where present. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
The hull of a boat is the main body that rides in the water. Engines, Decks, masts and rudders are all installed in or on the hull.
Basically, the hull on a boat keeps out the water, and displaces the water to create buoyancy, which enables the boat to float.
A single hull boat has only one hull, which is the standard for boats. Catamarans have two, or twin hulls.
The hull is the main part of a boat that rests in the water. It is usually made of fiber glass.
A thru-hull transducer is mounting through the hull of the boat. So you would actually take the boat out of the water, drill a hole in the boat approx 2" in diameter(depends on transducer model) and mount the transducer "thru-hull." -- A transom-mount transducer is a transducer bolted to the transom of a boat. Both kinds of transducers need to be submerged in the water for them to work correctly. www.sailboattalk.com I dont know a whole lot about this but I do know you dont drill a hole thru the hull. I have a ranger and from the factory mine was placed inside of the hull under my battery storage no hole needed to be drilled. But on a transom mount you have to drill holes into the transom.
The hull of a boat is the body of the boat. it is the part of the boat in the water. excluding the mast, boom, sail, rudder, keel, etc.
