Since the "gunnels" thread was so popular lets try this:

Does "Deep Vee" only refer to the angle at the stern or does it apply to
bow
angle too?

I know what dead-rise means and I understand the difference in how boats
with
a greater "V" in the back handle. On our boat the bottom of the hull in
the
stern is
pretty much flat. But in at the bow it's a very steep "V" shape. So would
this also
be considered a "Deep Vee" hull, or no?


=====================

No, your hull isn't a deep vee. Check out this article, here's a link:
