[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 84744, member: 55"] There is no one best hull type. If there were, it would be the only hull style in existence as nobody would buy anything other. Deep Vees: Much better rough water capabilities. The hull shape allows them to slice through rough water better than bouncing over it. But, deep vees need to be heavy to work correctly, so most deep vee tinnies aren't really all that. For a real nice deep vee, a 3/16 - 5/16 plate hull is desirable (3/16 is most common for smaller ones, say under 22 feet or so - which is what the hull of the one I plan on building will be). Also, deep vees are not as stable at rest. And, they need more horsepower to propel them at the same speed as a similar size hull of a different style. Semi vees: More stable than a deep vee of the same dimensions. Takes less horsepower to propel at equal speeds. Some rough water capabilities, but not much. Mod vees: Stability is almost that of a jon, with slightly better rough water capabilities, and better handling at speed. More interior space than a semi vee. [/QUOTE]
