What do you call this type of boat

[Pmerritt]

What do you call this type of boat? I was fixing this boat up and wanted to see what others were doing with them. I tried searching the internet but did not see any boats like this. I know these are fairly common boats as I see them around. I just dont know what they are called.

It has the recessed transom I assume so you can throw a net over the stern.

Thanks

Very nice job, looks brand new! That is a "skiff" variant. My guess is that it is designed for crabing or shrimping, not so sure which.

I agree with Kelly. It strongly resembles a Louisiana "Shrimper".

the recessed transom also helps you keep waves from coming over the stern. they are built for choppy water. i would love to have one. it will handle like a much bigger boat.
