Thinking about a chesapeake bay deadrise workboat under 30 ft just want to see various styles
 
They also call them 'buyboats', you can image search with that. (it's one word, google will try and make it two, but that just gets you nowhere)
 
Buyboats on the Chesapeake are much longer than 30 feet.
 
25 ft Hooper Island Draketail construction....The draketail is a hard chined Chesapeake Bay work boat

The 25 ft Hooper Island Draketail (Chesapeake work boat, reasonable fast for very low power) comes from Harry Sucher's book, "V Bottom Boats".
