Description
This type of boat is called a deadrise and constructed specifically for the watermen of the Cheapeake Bay. It is a shallow draft boat with a wide beam. All of that means that it can fish in shallow water and provides a very steady working platform. It is used for crabbing, oystering, drift netting and cat fishing.
