Those shots look a lot like a lot of downeast lobster type hulls with the exception of such round chines.
The rounded bilge just means any waves on the beam make for alot of rockin'.

with a straight run aft to the transom and a relatively deeply immersed transom,....semi-displacement comes to mind although with very soft chines....not much lift is provided.
