The deep V form (between 18 and 23 degrees) is only suited to high-powered planing boats. They require more powerful engines to lift the boat onto the plane but give a faster, smoother ride in waves. Displacement chined hulls have more wetted surface area, hence more drag, than an equivalent round-hull form, for any given displacement.
A V-hull, is the shape of a boat or ship in which the contours of the hull come in a straight line to the keel. [1] V-hull designs are usually used in smaller boats and are useful in providing space for ballast inside the boat.
Also accommodation hull. A ship or hull used as housing, generally when there is a lack of quarters available ashore. An operational ship can be used, but more commonly a hull modified for accommodation is used. Act of Grace Act of Pardon A letter from a state or power authorising action by a privateer.

The original 233 deep-V hull design was the first successful model, and its influence is present in today's models. Aronow would sell Formula and all but one of his molds to Alliance Machine Company in 1964 in what would become a pattern, whereupon he would sign a non-compete clause, walk out the door, and start Donzi Marine right next door.
The breadth of the hull lines at the widest point, normally at midships and measured inside the hull planking or plating. Used in some systems of tonnage measurement. [13] moulded depth The distance between the horizontal plane of the top of the keel and the top of the main deck beams at the edge of the hull. Compare with freeboard depth. [3]
US Navy SWCCs train with a modified go-fast boat during a training exercise in Mississippi. A typical go-fast is laid-up using a combination of fibreglass, kevlar and carbon fibre, using a deep "V" style offshore racing hull ranging from 6.1 to 15.2 metres (20 to 50 ft) long, narrow in beam, and equipped with two or more powerful engines, often totalling more than 750 kilowatts (1,000 hp).
The Drake Passage, between the southern tip of South America and Antarctic, is infamous as one of the most dangerous journeys on the planet. But why is it so rough – and how can you cross safely?
The boat's hull and superstructure are constructed entirely from 5456 marine grade aluminum. [3] Designed with a hard chined deep "V" planing hull, [8] the 47′ MLB exceeds its hull speed. The frame is composed of 17 vertical bulkhead frames, each of which is welded to the deck and hull, and five of which are watertight. [8]
