Hi Guys!

What is the deadrise angle of some popular competitive tunnels?

(just wondering)

Hi Bob,

I know the Magnum hull has an approximate deadrise angle of (ainthereyet)

I think it's 12 degrees at the stern (if memory servs). I've seen, and designed tunnels that have a more shallow deadrise at the stern than up front. Trying to get the best of both worlds, it was 11 degrees in the stern (for speed) and 14 degrees up front (for handling). Maybe some production tunnels have this as a standard feature?
