Prismatic
Prismatic coefficient describes the fineness of the hull. There is an optimum (lowest drag) coefficient for every speed/ length ratio.
A fine lined sailing hull might have a PC as low as 0.5 while a high speed planing hull would be upwards of 0.7
A flat bottom, rectangular plan view barge has a PC of 1.0

The only important characteristic is waterline length.
Longer = faster.
Hey Dan,
Do you have pictures of the mods you made to optimize the displacement hull? I am still learning all this stuff, so a website or any pointers you could provide to us would be extremely useful.
Much obliged,
Bill
