It would still be a boat designed for carrying weight, since the shape in the water would be the same. I think a boats got to sink in the water a certain amount for it's beam and displacement to feel right. You know how a boat feels stable and low with a lot of weight, then tippy and light when empty? Kind of like that, so for a boat that is meant to have a lower carrying capacity it should be skinnier so it can stay low and in the water.
