Marine Hull Types. Boats perform in the water based on the physical shape of the hull, and how it sits in the water. The two general types of hulls are displacement and planing. Other types of hull construction combine features of the displacement and planing hulls and are called semi-displacement or semi-planing. Displacement hulls push through the water as they have no hydrodynamic lift, or the boat does not rise out of the water as speed increases. The maximum speed of these hulls is typically between 1 and 1.5 times the square root of the boat length based on hull design.
