Ribcraft 4.8m hull angle

[Craig H]

Morning!

Would anybody with a 4.8m ribcraft be so kind as to measure the hull V angle please? been looking everywhere on the net and cant find it!

still trying to choose my next boat.......

thanx

RIBCRAFT USA state the transom deadrise on the 15'7" boat (4.8m) is 23 deg.

thanks Polwart.

So would that imply that the menai 4.8 with a 26 degree deadrise would be a smoother ride in rough water than the ribcraft 4.8 with 23?

you might be over simplifying it. there's more to the ride than the angle.

There's no substitute for a proper test drive.
