[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 501864, member: 15636"] It's a 'V' hull, never heard the word 'semi V' used to describe one myself ... Just be aware that the deadrise on such tin hulls is low to non-existent. Some V-hulls, only have the V at the bow and the stern is flatter than ... [I]well you know[/I] ... we'll just say it's flat, LOL! Some hulls like Smoker Craft, Star Craft and Lund carry the V-shape back a bit, maybe to 1/3rd of the length from the bow, and while not flat, there might be a soft V of 12-14 degrees at the stern (which is where deadrise is measured). I had one 16' Star Craft with 16-degrees of deadrise to the stern, but that is still a low deadrise hull, yet she was an awesome hull for what it was, especially when coupled to the 60hp Johnson 2-stroke, turning screws for 40MPH! I think I've seen one Lund tin hull, an 18' Walleye special - a Tyee model I believe - with a deadrise of 18-degrees. But note that is still not a true deep 'V', as that classification doesn't start until you reach 20-degrees. [/QUOTE]
