My fairly limited experience would suggest that a hard chined kayak will tell you when it has reached its optimal hull speed. That moment may not be as marked with a more rounded section.

This is not a bad thing, as the tiny bit of extra speed that can be squeezed out of the latter tends to come at a wasteful expense of energy.
