Catamarans make you seasick.

Monohull vs v hull. Spent my childhood growing up and fishing out of a small 42m mono hull with my dad but as i grew older found it was a bit small and limited our options. Monohulls often have a deeper draft. An essential piece of kit which should be standard with a new boat is a bridle that runs from either hull and keeps the anchor cable on the centreline.

The wedge-shaped forward hull cushions the ride like a deep-V and also. Catamarans are more expensive than monohulls. Stability is a big plus for families with young children or seniors who are not particularly steady on their feet.

In my ASE senior research project I discuss and analysis the differences between flat bottoms monohulls catamarans and tri-hulls. Displacement hulls - Monohull boats frequently ride deeply in the water this is known as a displacement hull. Especially in deep-V hull designs this can be an important consideration if you enjoy both inshore and offshore angling.

A monoplane also compresses air as it runs but spills it off the sides as it builds speed. More importantly however is how the water releases or sheds off the bottom of the hull as it rides across the water. Many cats ride smoother as you go faster.

Even when powered up a cat or tri will rarely heel more than 5-10 degrees before its time to reef. For centuries in the Western world the monohull ruled the seas. Squeezing into a marina can be nigh on impossible and expensive if you can get in.
