   That doesn't look like a shallow V river hull but I can't really see from the photo. Can you take a pic of the back of the hull so we can measure the hull angle? If its about 22degrees it is a deep vee hull and with the right engine will be fine for inshore work as it will have been built stong enough to take the stress of the waves. If the bottom is only 5 degrees or so, it is a river boat and only designed for low powered engines, slow speeds and flat water, and personally I wouldn't take a river boat out of the harbour. It does look sturdy though, hope it works out for you.
