Advantages: Moderate speed and efficiency, offers a compromise between displacement and planing hulls. Typical usage: Fishing boats, workboats, and fast trawlers.

Advantages: Good stability at rest, shallow draft allows for navigation in shallow waters. Typical usage: Small boats like jon boats, pontoon boats, and small craft used in calm, shallow waters.

Advantages: Very stable, provides a lot of living space, higher speed potential due to reduced water resistance. Typical usage: Catamarans, trimarans, sailing yachts designed for comfort and performance.

Advantages: High stability due to wide beam, reduced drag increases efficiency. Typical usage: Leisure boats, ferries, and racing boats.

Advantages: Offers high speed and quick turning capabilities, aerates water for less resistance. Typical usage: High-speed racing boats and some fishing boats.

Advantages: Provides a smooth ride with less drag, more fuel-efficient at a displacement speed. Typical usage: Canoes, kayaks, and other small rowboats.

Advantages: Extremely stable, efficient at a range of speeds. Typical usage: Fast passenger ferries, racing boats, and some recreational boats.

Advantages: Provides a smooth ride in rough water, offers better seaworthiness. Typical usage: Large vessels such as cargo ships and cruisers.

Advantages: Superior handling in rough water, cuts through waves easily. Typical usage: Offshore sport fishing boats, high-performance boats, and some racing boats.
