If 16 degrees is so great, why does anyone build 23s?


Let's try answering the question this time instead of changing the
subject.



Actually, W'hine, in the sorts of boats under discussion, I've seen
boats and literature on boats with deadrises of 14, 16, 17, 18. 19, 20,
21, and 24 degrees. I'm not personally aware of a boat with a 23-degree
deadrise at the stern, but I'm sure it is possible and in fact, is being
done.

In this area, there are some substantial fishing boats with what is
called a "Chesapeake deadrise" hull. What do you think is the deadrise
at the stern on those boats?

How much did you pay for that tranny repair, D'whine? And have you
amended your tale about the selling price of small wood boats made in
the mid 1950's?

Or are you still shoveling that "Wayne knows best" b.s.?
