displacement boats

Displacement boats are designed to move through the water by displacing, or pushing aside, a volume of water equal to their own weight. They are typically heavier and have a shape that allows them to cut through the water smoothly. These boats are efficient for long-distance travel and carry heavy loads, staying steady and stable in rough conditions. Unlike planing boats that ride on top of the water at high speeds, displacement boats move steadily at their own pace, making them ideal for cruising, cargo transport, and marine exploration.
