Ok. here is the question... I really can't seem to picture a 20 foot
skiff on plane trying to figure out appx what angle of pitch it will
travel through the water at..

I can't imagine any more than 3-5 degrees once you get over the hull
wave, but I am not sure...

Here is my scenario. A 20 foot skiff with 10 degree deadrise (made for
lakes and protected water not a steep vee) at about a 3-1 length to
width ratio at the sitting waterline.. Can any of you give me an idea of
what pitch this boat might ride at with a outboard attatched to the
transom, no whalefins or other hull additives?

Thanks....


I went on line and searched pictures and such and it looks to me like I
am looking at about 4 degrees pitch at plane for this hull. And if
that's the case, the numbers look real good for what I am looking to get
out of this boat.
