Hey guys, this may be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. How do i figure out my boats degrees of deadrise. I am trying to fill out hwsiii's prop form for a future post. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks very much!

Re: Deadrise

It's just the angle of the hull at the transom. Like a deep V off-shore boat might have a 26 degree deadrise, my john boat has 6 degree deadrise. Maybe get a carpenter's angle/protractor to measure yours? Your boat manufacturer should be able to provide that information anyway. Good Luck!
