Deadrise Question

[Bigshrimpin]

This may have been covered before somewhere . . . but what are the three deadrise angles at the transom of the seacraft 20 that average 17 degrees?

FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the max deadrise angle on a Potter 20 is 16 degrees.

I believe in the patent it's 21, 13, and 10....and that's what I measured when I mocked up the transom.....screwed on a sheet of 3/8th ply, traced it, and cut it out.

[Fr. Frank]

it's 21, 13, and 10...

Yep.

Is it the same on the Potter 18?

[1bayouboy]

Odd though...the brochures in th eliterature section list the the 23 as 20 degrees, the 25 seafari as 25.5 degrees....
Some are even 16 degrees in the spec brochures....

Thanks Guys!! That makes sense . . . when you add in two 2" or 3" vertical steps and draw a line from the V to the outside edge . . . it's probably 16 or 17 degrees.

I am getting bigshrimpin's numbers. 17 degrees at the transom, measuring the planes on the bottom. Plus a 4 " wide flat at the keel and 1-3/4" steps. As best as I can tell with a far too small protractor
