What type of hull will hold more weight?

A hull designed with a flatter bottom, such as a pontoon or barge hull, typically holds more weight because it distributes the load over a larger surface area, increasing buoyancy and stability. Additionally, multi-hull designs can offer greater weight capacity compared to single-hull designs. In contrast, V-shaped or deep hulls are more efficient for speed and maneuverability but may not support as much weight. Overall, the choice of hull type depends on the intended use and weight requirements.
