Hi, ( Deadrise Hull Boat)

[OPTIMAX150]

Hello, I have tried several brands of boats of aluminum and I have noticed that the boats with 19 and 20 degree angle and take the best wave in Example fiberglass Ranger, Boston Whaler, in the aluminum Tracker, Starcraft, Fisher and Smokercraft.

Your feeling of it?

Kind of a blanket statement. Different models by the same manufacturer can have different deadrises. Starcraft has models with 19 degree deadrise, and some with 17 degrees. Not sure about Trackers. The only Tracker I ever rode in jarred my teeth loose, and just about broke my back. Maybe that's why the transom welds cracked within the first month the guy owned it.

If I read correctly, Optimax seems to say that the only aluminim boat that can ride conmfortably when there is waves are the boats that he mention or at least the models in the brand that he mention that are running with a 19-20deg, deadrise.
So accordingly on his post the Lund, Crestliner,Alumacraft and all the others that are 16-17deg. deadrise are boats that are not suitable in a rough condition.
Tracker, Starcraft, Fisher and Smokercraft are the only one that can be run in the rough like the glass boats: Ranger and Boston Whaler.

I can tell you my Crestliner had a 19* dead rise and that hull stunk. The Fishhawks have a 17* deadrise and I've heard good things from those owners.

Not that is really not what I have wanted to say I have noticed that the cons by 18.6 and Starcraft Fisherman Smoker craft as an example the wave taking more than Crealiner and Lund Tyee, I prefer the Lund Pro V which for me is the best of Lund in Lund for the wave

But in general no matter compagny boat over the angle of the hull appears to be high is the best behavior in the wave!

Generally speaking, I would say that yes, the higher the degree of deadrise the more effective the hull will be in cutting through waves and giving a smoother ride. This is only one consideration of hull design though and boats are usually designed with a specific purpose in mind. The type and shape of hull that is employed is reflective of that design.

If I'm spending time cruising on the ocean or in really big water all the time, I probably want a hull that will cut waves effectively. If I'm running in a 6 inch deep river, I really don't want any deadrise as it will bounce off rocks and boulders and not allow me to get to my hunting spot. If I'm spending allot of time at rest while casting, a boat with a steep deadrise is likely to pitch more than a flatter hull, thus making it more uncomfortable and/or less "stable" in those conditions.

It really depends on what you want. A boat is a tool and there are varied ones for various applications.

You are right. Lund is the best.

Hi André the same story from Serge again again and again

As long as we are talking about this.. ...
Generally, the best and driest riders have a variable degree dead rise depending on where you take the reading.

For a good multi-species fishing platform...if you have a whole lot of deadrise and it goes all the way back...you had also better have good reverse chines to keep the boat from being a real roller and leaner once you slow down and start fishing.
