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.

depends on the size. a trailer boat=30mph a ski boat=60mph

well if you want to make a boat the boat shape is a hexagon but you got to slice the hexagon into half.

A single white light on a boat means the boat is moving.

Chinese junk boats are primarily used for trading and transporting exports and imports. In the past, they also have been used for military combat.

Before the widespread use of railways, any cargo would likely be shipped by canal boat - heavy or otherwise. However, one of the largest requirements for the Industrial Revolution was for coal to be burned to generate power. Canals were the ideal medium (for a while) to ship these large cargoes long distances from coalfields to factories.

The first boat invented was in 4000BC.

Freedom Boat Club of Plymouth has a variety of boats. Visit FreedomBoatClub.com for more information on their type of fleet.

Kerala boathouse was one of the only experiences in my life where I was really mesmerized. The place was a backwater Paradise with many tourism activities. The houseboat cruise through the Alleppey backwaters was the main attraction of the entire trip. We were assisted by one of the best houseboats in Alleppey.

The shape of the boat only affects how much energy is needed to move it (overcome friction) when floating on water. The boat has to have a high-enough profile so that when it is placed in water, it will not take on water. The amount of water displaced by the boat counteracts the weight of the boat exactly. When a 200-pound person steps into the boat, the boat will sink to displace an extra amount of water, the weight of which equal to 200 lbs. That is assuming the boat has not sunk yet.

The trailer is the big variable here, but the my 20' pontoon boat weighs about 1600 pounds with all the furniture on. The trailer will probably weigh about 1600-1800 if it's made of steel, so about 3200 lbs is probably about right.

The proper size of a boat to live on depends on the number of people and if it's a sail boat or cruiser your interested in. Are you going off shore or staying close to home? My wife and I have lived on a sail boat and a cruiser. We found the 30ft. sail boat a dream, but a lot of work in rough seas. The positive side is the wind, it's free fuel and when everything is going your way you can't beat it. We also had a 42ft. 1947 Monk cruiser that we bought after selling the sail boat. We lived on her for three years and loved it. She was a classic piece of workmanship. Her size gave us lots of room. Her name is Chatim Eagle,42ft. long and 11ft. at the beem. She slept six comfortably and had a shower that I could move around in as I am 6'3" tall, a nice galley with a Pacific stove for heating and cooking. The Master Bedroom had a Queen size bed built in with drawers. Hot and cold fresh water on board with a 150 gallon water tank and a 10 gallon hot water tank. The boat was powered by a Isuzu motor that gave us a cruising speed of 6-7 knots. I had removed the old Chrysler gas engine which was a 1947 gas eater. Being that she was a semie displacement hull which means she was a shallow draft boat that drew only three and a half feet of water. This also means that her hull speed was 8-9 knots. Chatim Eagle had a nice flare to her bow which helped greatly to pancake the waves. She had a three station steering system. One below deck, one on deck and one on the top bridge. She was a very sea worthy vessel and we miss her. I shouldn't have sold her. One more thing, Head room. The one thing I didn't like about the sail boat was it's lack of head room. It was only 5'10" tall and at times one felt like you were living in a hole. So for me it's a cruiser, at least 35-to 50ft.

"Boats" are the Bikini Bottom version of cars

You fill the bottom of the boat with water

It's called a SPEICH. It keeps a glass disk free from rain, snow or sea-water by fast rotation, using centrifugal force to keep water, snow and ice from sitting or building up on the window to maintain visibility.

Yes! The only places in Southern California that you can legally live on a boat are Marina Del Rey and some place in Long Beach.

You will have to pay a higher slip fee for living on your boat and a lot of marina's have different rules on how many people they will allow to live on their boat.

A captain is generally the one in charge of a boat, however, in his/her absence, the skipper, or person steering the boat, is in charge. The skipper is usually the captain in smaller boats, but in larger vessels these are usually different people.

You should always have a spotter (not the driver) in the boat to assist in watching for hazards and keeping an eye on the skier. The driver needs to be alert about what is going on in front of the boat.

Boats displace water (push it out of the way). The boat weighs less than the water it displaces, so it floats on top. If the boat weighed more than the water is displaces, it would sink- which is how a submarine goes under water.

not every boat is like that you kno

The hull is the main part of a boat that rests in the water. It is usually made of fiber glass.
