That's 8 degrees at the transom.

Definitely not a deep-V hull, but that's how you get 25 knots out of
this boat with a 90-HP motor. If you want to drive a deeper hull
through chop at planing speeds you will need a lot more HP and
ga$oline. Everything is a trade off. There aren't any underwater
through hulls on this outboard boat with a portapottie, and it is very
likely to be rack stored or sit on a trailer between uses. While
Viking, Bertram, Hatteras, et al have had some issues with balsa coring
I am not sure the risk is anywhere nearly close for a Cape Cruiser. I
agree that people need to weigh the risks vs. the benefits and make the
best available decision (or best educated guess).

Yet it's a deeper V than the C-Dory 23 footer, correct? If so, less
slamming for less money!
