V-Hull vs. Cat Hull
This is going to seem like a total newbie question but, well, I'm a newbie...
What is the practical difference between a V and Cat hull of the same length? Handling? Stability? Plane out at different speeds? Cruise at different speeds? Fuel efficiency? One can handle bigger waves? One handles chop better? HP requirements?
Thanks.
