Hello All,<br /><br />I'm a bit new to the boating world and was hoping I could ask a few fundamental boating questions.<br /><br />Flat Bottom, V, Deep V, Tri-hull, Catamaran, pontoon(if that's even considered a hull) .... these are just a few of the hull terms I hear being tossed around. I can visually see the differnce in these hulls, but was wondering what makes each special. <br /><br />What advantages/disadvantages do these hulls have? Why choose one over the others?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Patrick
