flat-bottomed boat
Barge or skiff
A flat-bottomed boat has a hull without a keel or V-shape, sitting level in the water.
This design allows navigation in shallow waters where deeper-hulled vessels would run aground: We took a flat-bottomed boat through the marsh.
Punts, johnboats, and barges are flat-bottomed boats.
