You might take a look at Sea Kayaking UK, the new Nigel Dennis site and look at the Greenlander pictures, it's an expedition boat with a flat foredeck, it's a little odd looking all angles instead of curves but it'll give you something a little different to compare with.

Also might look at Tom Yost's site, he's got quite a few boats with lots of pictures, with a peaked deck for comparison.
