Default Re: 23 Seacraft Hull Design and the Silverhawk

Jimmy....welcome Thats a real nice boat you have there!!!

Yeah all the stuff Steve says....plus...I think and I emphasize THINK .... that is an average measurement of deadrise angle. Since the boat literally has three different planes, each carrying a different degree of deadrise....they get averaged together to come up with that number....therefore the angle from the keel to the first strake is very close to 25-30 degrees (second plane is something like 16-18 degrees and the outboard one is 12-14 degrees) averaged together give you the 20 degree deadrise (for SeaCraft that is) Additionally our boats have a real sharp entry which helps alot....

Has anyone else heard this theory ???
