Ride comfort and performance tend to conflict and the designer has to try and find a balance or a compromise between the two. For real performance of 60 knots or above, the competition is between the deep vee and the cat, with the deep vee winning for the leisure sector and the cat when it comes to racing performance. It is hard to see this balance changing in the near future except with the advent of the ground effect craft. Already catamarans are virtually flying at speeds over 100 mph and aerodynamics are becoming increasingly important both to keep the boat stable and to generate lift. Monohulls have less facility to exploit aerodynamics but even some of the these boats are being fitted with wings.
Logic suggests that there is a lot of sense in leaving the water completely.
After all, it's the waves which cause the problems at high speed. The result is a tremendous improvement in efficiency so that a 2 seater can manage 80mph with just 100 hp. The latest versions are hybrids with either tilting propellers or a hovercraft system which allows them to take off from land or with a very short run at sea. It will be quite a few years before we see boating enthusiasts taking to the air rather than the water. In the meantime the refined deep vee hull will be the choice of most leisure boaters who want speed.
