Deaqdrise Question?

[starsnstripers]

How and exactly where is the deadrise angle measured? V-bottom stern middle bow? Hull sides to bottom angle stern middle bow? thanks

Re: Deaqdrise Question?

The dead rise you read on boat spec sheets come from the stern. Some times the dead rise is consistent to bow and sometimes not.

It's measured from a horizontal plane from the keel UP.

easy way to find deadrise is measure angle of keel and subtract from 180... then divide by 2

I believe the "or not" is called a warped hull. Our resident Judge expert can expound on those benefits.
