The older 70's models of the Lund S series had a very flat-floored stern which would allow you to run in shallower water without too much issue. I re-did a 1990 Alumacraft V-14, which did pretty well with just flat floors and a front raised deck. I also added a top deck for a bow-mount. That had a little bit of v-shape all the way back, but I could get through about 8" of water without issue, using a 25hp motor in shallow water drive.
Older teal-green Crestliner boats would be a good boat to work with as well. You don't see many of them around anymore, but they had a really nice front end on them which cut waves really well. My father had an 18 footer that he ran a 20hp and a 15 hp in tandem...that boat would move, but had a tendency to slide the rear end on turns, which always felt a little wierd.
Lots of options out there...
