Fishing boats are equipped with seven different types of hulls which include displacement hull, planing hull, flat bottom hull, multihull, deep vee hull, round bottom hull and cathedral hull. Most fishing vessels come with displacement hulls which round in shape. They plough the water out of the way as the boat moves on and reduces energy used in propulsion as it can cut through water easily. This makes the boat stable and ensures a smooth ride. Planning hulls have a flat-bottomed or a V-shaped hull and are faster than boats which use displacement hulls. Smaller fishing boats are equipped with flat bottom hulls which have a shallow draft. These boats are used to perform freshwater fishing operations in small lakes and rivers. However, they are harder to manoeuvre and prone to turn over when making sharp turns.
