Any ideas how to improve resistance of such hull...

    It Seems an overloaded boat. Bow wave is big. May be a bulbos now?

    Looks like parallel midbody is too long. There is a lot if negative pressure at bottom in foreship. That why it sink to foreship. It is a boat for lake. I am not sure about bulb... ideally it required as low as possible resistance, but I am afraid it is totally wrong shape for that...

    I take it for granted that the shapes of the ship cannot be changed neither the block coefficient or the prismatic, or the angle of entry at the bow and, since, imo, the bow wave is very large, I think a bulbous bow would reduce it, reducing resistance to wave formation.

    The bow is too bluff.
    You need to reduce the angle of entry.

    Thanks. I think you are right. Will try to change angle, if designer will agree.
