[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 470324, member: 21552"] Most "V" hulled boats in the 14' range may have a rounded hull near the stern, if it amounted to 5 degrees I'd say that's a lot. Speaking from exp. 5 degrees isn't going to do crap for you in the comfort department when out in real chop. My last boat had a 55 degrees at the bow and 16 degrees at the stern. If I trimmed up 1' waves were easy, but 2' and more you really felt it. If I trimmed the bow down it would go along way in cutting the slop but it was a wet ride with spray on a windy day. I can't say I've seen a 14' hull with more then a 10 degree rise, and that's not much on a light boat like a tinner. [/QUOTE]
