How much deadrise?
Trying to figure out how much deadrise my 1986 F3LS has...As a second question how does more/less deadrise effect speed and handling? I assume that the deadrise would be the same as an 86 242LS but Im not sure. I would like to find out for sure...
Thanks

I could have sworn I saw the deadrise of the boats listed on the Formula site in the vintage area, but I just looked, and it wasn't there. The boat is 21'6" and weighs 3500 pounds.

I think the 26 Donzi Zx is 23 degrees. I think this measurement may be a little deceiving. It is measure at the transom, but will gradually flatten out along the bottom. I don't think it is the end all in figuring how a boat will ride, but it may be the only hard figure to look at that can be compared from boat to boat.

HeyBH, Have you been on Caesar Creek near Waynesville, Ohio? I thought I had seen that boat out there. I have a 292 and usually spot other Formulas when I'm out.
