What are characteristics of a round bottom boat?

  1. Moves smoothly through water and is easily rolled

  2. Has a shallow draft, good for fishing

  3. Most common hull type, faster through water

  4. Most stable, big, used for catamarans

The correct answer is: Moves smoothly through water and is easily rolled

Round bottom boats are popular for their smooth movement in the water and ability to roll, making them suitable for use in rough water conditions. Although round bottom boats are not as stable as other boat types, they are still widely used due to their maneuverability and speed. Because of their design, they are not typically used for catamarans, which require a more stable hull shape. Shallow draft boats, often used for fishing, have a flatter bottom that allows them to navigate in shallow waters, but are not as efficient as round bottom boats in terms of speed and stability.
