15. Flat Bottom Hull: shallow draft, good for fishing in lakes and rivers
16. DeepVee Hull: give smoother ride in rough water, requires more power to plane
17. Round Bottom Hull: Typical displacement hull, moves easy even at slow
speeds but can roll without a deep keel
18. Multi-Hull: displacement hull, great stability because of large beam
Catamaran
19. Length Class A: less than 16 feet
