Between your assessment and the fact that the boat simply will not go faster than 8.5 knots, plus she just really feels more comfortable in nasty weather, seems to point to a displacement verdict.

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.
