The design of the 10-foot model gave the appearance of a racing boat with extremely shallow V-hull. Power was exclusively outboard engine. Seating was either a bench seat or 2 bucket seats. Length: 10 feet, 3 inches; Beam: 61 inches; Weight: 250 lbs; Maximum Horsepower: 40 hp four stroke, 50 hp two stroke
The V-hull on the Marine Personnel Carrier (highlighted in green) protects well against IEDs, but raises the center of mass, increasing the likelihood of rollovers.. The V-hull is a type of vehicle armor design used on wheeled armored personnel carriers (APCs), infantry mobility vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and MRAPs.
A padded V-hull is a hull shape found on both pure race boats and standard recreational craft. A variation of the more common V-hull , which has a V-section throughout the length of the vessel, a padded V-hull has a V-section at the bows and the forward part of the keel which then segues into a flat area typically 0.15 metres (5.9 in) to 0.25 ...
A flat-bottomed boat is a boat with a shallow draft, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water, which is good for hunters and anglers. However this design becomes less stable in choppy water.
The deadrise (which, simplified, is a measure of the angle of bottom in v-hull boats) of most flats boats is generally a small angle because larger deadrise often requires more water displacement which increase the boat's draft and is not desirable for flats boats in shallow water. However, lower deadrise may produce a rougher ride in choppy ...
The circular arc hull, as a shallow, V-shaped hull, is not ideal for a rough sea as it does not cleave the waves. However, it can have a tendency to swage. This lightweight construction has many thin ribs and planks. Thus, there may be more movement within the hull than in sturdier designs.
The nearly flat hull of a johnboat tends to ride over the waves rather than cut through them as a V-hull might; this shallow draft – only a few inches [2] – enables the johnboat to operate in very shallow water, [3] but limits its use to calm waters.
Fn V applies when the waterline length is too speed-dependent to be meaningful—as with a planing hull. [41] It uses a reference length, the cubic root of the volumetric displacement of the hull, V , where u is the relative flow velocity between the sea and ship, and g is acceleration due to gravity :
