Does the shap of a boat effect the speed of a boat?

In: Powerboats, Boats and Watercraft [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, especially the weight of the boat. Both of them really affects the speed when you sail to the ocean. Even if you have a small boat but it is fully loaded with your stuffs it will have a slow start before it regains the normal speed.
