What describes a flat bottom hull?

Good for fishing in calm waters but rough in choppy waters
Move smoothly through water
Most common and fast hull type
Most stable and used for catamarans and pontoon boats

The correct answer is: Good for fishing in calm waters but rough in choppy waters

A flat bottom hull is often used for fishing in calm waters as it allows for easy access and stability while at rest. However, this type of hull can be rough in choppy waters due to its lack of a V-shaped hull, which helps cut through waves. This makes option B incorrect. Option C is incorrect because a flat bottom hull is not the most common hull type; it is typically seen on small boats and canoes. Option D is also incorrect because while a flat bottom hull is stable, it is not exclusively used for catamarans and pontoon boats.
