Post Questions about Boat Build
I am fixing to start the process of building my own hull. My question is about the sides of the hull. I don't want 45 degree sides, and was looking for what angle most builders put on their boats. Boat will either be 16x42 or 17x42 with hunt deck and 21'' sides.

Figure out what beam width you want. I do about a 60-62" beam width on a 48" wide boat with 18" sides. We went about 64" on a 48" wide with 21" sides. I think it equals out to about 20-22 degrees.

My last one was 48" bottom, 21" sides, and 69" beam. Performance crimp. It had a beautiful shape.
