A deadrise is the measurement of the angle between the bottom of a boat and its widest beam. A zero-degree deadrise is a flat bottom; high numbers indicate deep V-shaped hulls.
A Chesapeake Bay deadrise, however, is a certain type of boat. I didn't know about deadrise being a general measurement when I added this word. Learn somethin' every day.
