There are several differences between a reverse chine and a standard chine boat. The most noticeable difference is the shape of the hull. A reverse chine boat has a V-shaped hull with the bottom of the V pointing towards the back of the boat, while a standard chine boat has a U-shaped hull. Reverse chine boats are more stable and provide a smoother ride than standard ones. This is because there is more surface area in contact with the water on a reverse chine boat, which creates more drag and slows down the speed at which waves pass through the hull. This makes it difficult for a reverse chine boat to spin out or flip over. Standard chine boats are less expensive than reverse chine boats because they require less complex tooling and fewer parts.
