Center console fishing boats are typically built with fiberglass. Many large boat types have steel and aluminum hulls and superstructures, while classic center consoles were built out of wood. Fiberglass is a lighter, stronger material that helps decrease drag and improve speed, which is something that the avid angler seeks when going out to sea. Offshore center console hulls are typically deeper, but generally, the different center console boat hulls are not that different from each other. They tend to have a V bottom so they can run fast on open water and get to the destination quicker.
