   A padded V-hull is a hull shape found on both pure race boats and standard recreational craft. A variation of the more common V-hull , which has a V-section throughout the length of the vessel, a padded V-hull has a V-section at the bows and the forward part of the keel which then segues into a flat area typically 0.15 metres (5.9 in) to 0.25 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flats_boat

   Flats boats are often small easily trailerable boats although some may reach up to 23 ft in length [6] or more. They are typically equipped with outboard motors and offer a relatively shallow draft compared to other boats of the same length, to allow for passage over sandbars, oyster beds or other submerged objects or underwater features with less risk of damaging the hull or engine.

9. Boat building - Wikipedia

   As the hull thickness is typically 2.5 to 3 cms, ferrocement is unsuitable for boats less than about 15 metres LOA as there is a weight penalty; above that length there is no penalty. Properly plastered ferrocement boats have smooth hulls with fine lines, and amateur builders are advised to use professional plasterers to produce a smooth finish.
