The classic "Lobster" boat has been described as the “pickup truck of the Maine coast”. A lobster boat has a pronounced keel that protects the propeller and the hull is round-bottomed without hard chines. The forefoot is usually deep, to handle head seas and to help hold the bow from falling away from the wind as the traps are hoisted aboard. A traditional lobster boat hull flattens quickly aft, which provides some form stability and also gives a good turn of speed when running to or from the traps. Most lobster boats run bow-high on this flat surface, which is both fast and economical, and deadrise at the transom is often a shallow 2 to 3 degrees. Traditional lobster boats are also much narrower than recreational powerboats, and it’s not surprising for a 34-footer to have just a 9-foot beam.
