How many 20 - 21 footers have a 20 degree deadrise at the tranny? Not many that I'm aware.

OK, I's thinkin deadrise was 19* but who am I to argue w/an expert...never considered a difference between 20s and 21s...assumed they were same...go back to THT and read what I told em about gettin wet inna boat...LOL!!...

Yeah, both are definitely 20 degrees...and I loved the way you handled the nay-sayers about gettin wet! I do concur with the one fella who said the part about the front curtain that attaches to the bimin and windshield - with that you will hardly get wet at all in any conditions. I put mine in when heading out any real distance off the beach. Not only does it cut down on getting wet but keeps the wind outta the cockpit and allows for easier conversation on the way to the spot. Not to mention you stay warmer in the early am because there is protection from the wind. If you want to let a little wind thru, remove the center section or just remove all 3 sections and stow in the cuddy.

Speaking of which, Reel what do you think about the cuddy on the 21 vs. the cuddy on your '75? Good bit bigger huh? Isn't the helm is further aft also? Which should make the ride a tad better.

Wind + water = my two greatest enemies on a boat which is why I have the cuddy and not the CC. Love my windshield.

Mine measured out at 20.5 almost 21 degrees of deadrise right at the stern(my HYDRA is only 18). I think boat set-up is very important as well as with any 20 footer. If the weight is all in the stern then yes it will be a rotten pounding ride, but get it balanced out and that carolina flair goes to work and that deep vee bow will plow through. I try to stay out of THT for the most part as everybody there is so strong opinionated and quick to start a fight.
