Round Bottom hull
A round hull.
a hull of a boat that pushes through the water, this is the ordinary kind. Like most boats and ships. A planing hull is the other kind, where it skims along the top of the water, like a jet boat

For ponds, a flat-bottom hull type is generally considered best, as it provides stability and shallow draft, allowing for easy navigation in shallow waters. Flat-bottom boats are also easier to maneuver and can accommodate larger loads, making them ideal for recreational activities like fishing or leisurely cruising. Additionally, their design minimizes the risk of getting stuck in mud or shallow areas often found in ponds.

Most cruising sailboats and trawlers have a fiberglass hull. This material is favored for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and low maintenance requirements. Fiberglass also allows for versatile design options, making it popular among boat manufacturers. Some boats may also use aluminum or wood, but fiberglass remains the predominant choice.
Cruising sailboats typically have a displacement hull, which is designed to provide stability and comfort in open water, allowing for smooth sailing even in choppy conditions. These hulls are often deeper and wider, promoting a better balance between speed and stability. In contrast, trawlers usually feature a full displacement or semi-displacement hull, designed for efficient cruising at slower speeds. These hulls maximize fuel efficiency and stability, making them ideal for long-distance travel and extended periods at sea.
Mono-displacement hulls. Trawlers are often soft chined, 'S' type can often be seen on sailing vessels.The hull type depends and what charectaristics the designer wishes to incorporate. With modern materials many more types of hull design are possible.

Traditionally built hulls were constructed of horizontal wooden planks laid in either clinker (overlapped) or carvel (butted together and smooth) formation. Nowadays, hulls are more likely to be constructed of glassfibre or metal.
