Answer:
The boat will speed easily through the waves. But if the front of the boat is flat, like on a barge, the water friction will slow it down. ... So, with both air and water, a streamlined shape reduces friction and helps the boat or car go quickly. A flat front increases air or water friction and slows the boat or car down.
