Zebra is right on . . . Wellcraft has a section of their site for specs on older models back to 1985. Also you can check the gallery's history section . . . for the same model in 85 or 86.

Just so we're talking apples and apples, do you mean "deadrise" or do you mean "transom angle"? Page 3 of the PDF here...

...illustrates transom angle. Aside from transducers, transom angle comes into play with things like trim tabs, jackplates, outboard brackets, etc.

If you mean transom degree . . . it's usually b/w 12 and 14 degrees on most boats. I'd wait and measure your boat. You can use a Square (and do some trig.) or use a steel protractor.

honestly I don't know what I am talking about I just need to know what the degree the outboard bracket that I am looking for needs to be.

thanks

Get the tool above from home depot or another hardware store. It's the fastest /most accurate way of measuring. It should be something like 12 or 14 degrees . . . I can't remember.

MEASURING THE TRANSOM ANGLE: Place a carpenter's square, with the long side (22.½") under the keel or to the outside edge of the hull, parallel with the chine. When the short side (14") comes in contact with the transom, take the measurement (see sketch) between the inside corner of the square and the boat transom. Each 1/4" is equal to 1° in transom angle.

All right . . . stop making fun of me. I just cut and paste. My seacraft is 14 degrees . . . That's how I knew about the protractor and square.
