Hello TreesDied and welcome to the forums! :)

I am assuming that boat hulls could probably affect buoyancy in several ways. However, which aspect of a boat hull are you experimenting with? Ie. size, shape, material, etc. There are many options, but based on your profile you have already chosen a variable to test and have carried out your experiment. If that is the case, you should be able to make some conclusions on how that aspect of boat hulls affect buoyancy.

If you have some results but need help interpreting them, maybe post some data here and I could help.

If you have actually not carried out an experiment yet, an idea would be to test how the shape of the boat hull affects buoyancy: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p019.shtml ; this idea is already in Science Buddies' Project Guide, which can often be a valuable resource.

Please do clarify and I can help you more specifically.

All the best,
Nithi
