John,
A very interesting shape. What I like most is seeing the scratches on the bottom of your boat. It means she has been some where. :) Before ya go with this as a finalized shape ya might want to try two smaller skegs on either the bottom or rear of your boat. In having two you could have the same surface area but not as deep. this would lower your draft.

My thought would be go down to the pond with several ideas in foam try and tweak and figure out which one ya like best. Personally I think your on to something and the shape your choosing fits in behind what what is in front of it. So its not going top be as big a rock collector as ya might think
