One term you see bounced around from boat salespeople is deadrise. Especially when comparing models from dealer to dealer:
But what exactly does this term mean?
Getting right into it, deadrise is basically the angle of which your hull rises from the keel, measured against a flat horizontal plane.
Now that you know the definition, the video should be over right? Well not so fast my friends, put your clickers down for a moment because the measurement itself can be misleading.
You see, there are 3 places the measurement could potentially come from.
#1. Transom #2.) Forward #3.) Bow
This where you must be careful when reading specs online.
In fact, if you see the term “variable deadrise,” then it is really a total crap shoot because this doesn’t have a true definition.
It could be the actual measurement is one of the 3 areas or an average of each.
Or it could be measured at any spot on the transom. The issue here is that you will have a varying angle on most all fiberglass boats unlike most aluminum boats which hull angle stay true at the transom. What I am getting at here is that if a sharp vee is important to you, it is probably a good thing to download an app or measure yourself vs believing what you read online. Like my grandpa James always, “Boy, you can read bad stuff about Jesus on the internet, don’t make it true.” There are obviously many ways this can be measured or interpreted. So, which one should you be really relying on while comparing:
In my experience, the boats that cut through the waves the best, have the greatest transom deadrise, and the greatest transom deadrise should be measured just inside the outer chine.
For many years I noticed when I told a customer that a certain boat has 1 degree more deadrise than another, I could see they would completely disregard that it was benefit.
And for that reason, it is important for you to know, the sharper it is at the transom, it only continues to increase aft to bow. If not, that would be a very odd-looking boat.
Here in a moment, I am going to conduct a little experiment to show what higher deadrise does for the ability to cut through rough chop while boating.
But first, it is equally as important to understand the reverse side of sharp vee hull.
The higher the deadrise, typically, the less lateral stability you have.
A deck boat normally has a lower transom angle. They may not cut through big waves the best but will sit extremely stable while coving out with friends and family.
On the flip side, a true bow rider typically has a higher transom angle, cuts through rough water better, but doesn’t sit as stable while coving out.
With these things considered, I hope you can see that although the higher your deadrise the greater the ability to cut waves, if 51% of your boating doesn’t consist of fighting monster rollers, then it truly isn’t nearly as significant of a factor while boat shopping.
One thing we can all agree on is that up until this point, it is simply all. Just words.
However, let’s close with a super simple experiment that shows exactly what we are talking about:
Now that we know what deadrise is, you can determine how important of a factor it is to you.
the outtakes 🤣🤣🤣thanks so much for all the hard work you do for these videos
So informative. I will definitely consider deadrise on my next boat purchase because of the horrible experience with my current boat. I have a Bayliner Element e16 with a M hull. I cannot express strongly enough how terrible that hull design is. Sure, if you only ride in completely remote areas with zero other boats around and glass smooth water conditions, perfect boat for you, but 99% of boating locations are a complete pain. Any other boat’s wake, no matter how small causes you to have to slow to a crawl otherwise it’s like hitting a brick wall. The flow channels in the hull act like cups that grab incoming wakes and waves so quite literally any smallest wake or wave will hit your hull with bone crushing force. And it’s a shame that bayliner advertises their M hulls as new boater friendly which is a complete lie, you have to be very calculated and know how to approach wakes and waves with that boat or you will seriously hurt yourself or others.
Makes complete sense!
Flat for me I mostly float around fishing or taking a nap. Sometimes both. Thinking of just getting pontoon.
What's more important for having a dry ride.. deadrise or freeboard?
Well Explained
Great explanation! Ty. You've gained a subscriber.
Question.
If I get a 35 foot boat such as a sea ray 350 with a dead rise of 20° VS. a Monterey 355 that has a 17° which would be better for me to ⚓ down and drink pops without getting rocked all day long? Is there that big of a difference?
Yes it doesn’t make a significant on ride quality. For coving out, cruisers have such a massive reverse chine I don’t believe one would sit better than the other of that makes sense? However I would strongly suggest buying the Sea Ray if you boat in the Midwest simply from the resale factor.
Would you say a Baja 232 islander would handle rough water better than a crownline 225 lpx? Love the assortment of videos you make
Thank you very much!
That’s a tough one. I feel like since the Baja 232 is a little taller hull sided, it becomes mental that it rides better. In reality I’ve sold many of both, and truly believe they’re dead even.
Thank you I appreciate the reply, I love your videos and I ended up buying a 202 crownline not too long ago. Live about 7 hours north of loto but love coming down there. Ready for an upgrade

Is that true, I was hoping to built a 28 foot v bottom that goes to a total flat in back
Grandpa; just cause you read it in a book, doesn't mean it's true.
Good video, good details. I wouldn't have used blue septic liquid for the baking demonstration though, but that's just me.
And certainly doesn't mean it is false! Jesus is the REAL thing!
What app are you using?
I have the same question! lol
I would like to know too!
