Looking at a boat. Can someone tell me the avantages of a 21 degree deadrise vs the 24 degrees? Which is faster? Which rides best in rough water?
Thanks, Jim

Big Difference!
Most rough water deep V boats are 24°. So if you are looking to play in the rough, go that route. The only down side with a 24° that I can think of is that you have a big wake at low speeds; no good for water skiing.

I too get the impression he is looking at an H2X, and if comparing to a 24 Outlaw, the H2X will blow the 24 Outlaw away until it gets pretty rough. No question the deeper V is better in the rough.

21 degrees used to be considered a deep V and if properly designed would be just fine for most inland lakes...if you boat in relatively smooth, uncrowded lakes, you will be happier with a more moderate V; less power to get out of the hole, less bow rise, more stability at rest and underway[i.e. passenger movement less noticable], normally better acceleration to top speed. I don't think that a semi V is necessarily faster than a deep V though; deep V's usually come with a few tricks such as pads, notches and/or steps....moderate V's are usually more conventional in design. Bass boats would be an exception to this.
If you want to play in the rough, like LOTO, get the deep V.
