con uno scafo meno a botticella e qualche confort in più

I found this but if you can give a little more info it may help
A prua e a poppa la chiglia si incastra con altri due pezzi strutturali che sono chiamati genericamente dritto di poppa e dritto di prua o tagliamare. Il primo è pressochè verticale e, negli scafi con motore entrobordo, presenta un'apertura circolare, leggermente rigonfia, chiamata botte, entro la quale passa la parte finale dell'asse dell'elica.

But if it is the heading of a drawing, try to get the drawing - maybe it simply is some kind of barrel!
