The hull.
The shape of a boat is referred to as its "hull." The hull is the watertight body of the boat that provides buoyancy and stability in the water. Different hull shapes, such as flat, round, or V-shaped, affect the boat's performance, speed, and handling characteristics.
Displacement, Semi Displacement and planing
The base of a boat is called the "hull." The hull is the main body of the boat that sits in the water and provides buoyancy, stability, and structure. It can be designed in various shapes depending on the type of boat and its intended use.
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
Displacement: The weight of the water the boat displaces. Hull weight: The weight of the hull of the boat
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.
