Why does a hard chine boat ride diff from one with rounded chines?

Is that a serious question? You can't visualize it?


Of course its serious



Try to visualize the surface and edge a hard chine boat presents to the
water.

Then visualize the surface and lack of edge a round chine boat presents
to the water.

The hard chine boat tends to bang onto the waves; the round chine boat
tends to slide into the water.

Water doesn't compress too well.
