Cape Islander

A Cape Island style fishing boat, mostly used for lobster fishing, is an inshore motor fishing boat found across Atlantic Canada having a single keeled flat bottom at the stern and more rounded towards the bow. The Cape Island style boat is famous for its large step up to the bow. They are known for being good "sea" boats, and riding the swells well. The design originated on Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia about 1905.
