You've got it right, the angle is the one you see in profile, and it is
measured from a normal to the waterlines.

The deadrise is shown in the body sections, and is measured from the
waterlines there. It is the upward slope of the bottom from the center or
keel, out toward the chine or turn of the bilge.

You might find a basic text on lofting to be interesting, as it shows how the
three major sets of lines (waterlines, buttocks, and station lines) plus one
or more additional lines such as diagonals are established.

Lofting isn't difficult, and even if you don't intend to do any, learning
about the process will allow you to understand a lot more about hull shapes
that you see *everywhere*!!!

well explained
now to get to work

Good Morning Fred O'Neill,
Hull deadrise refers to the angle in which the two bottom
halves(port and starboard) are raised relative to the baseline(that
deadflat horizontal line from which elevations are measured).Best seen
by looking at a section drawing instead of the profile.Sort of like a
giant V shape where the apex(bottom of the V) is the keel;either very
shallow(low angle) or very steep(high angle)
Transom angle refers to how far back the transom"leans" away from
straight up-and-down.This is usually a backward lean but may also be a
forward lean,as in a reverse transom which leans forward.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan

hiya all

can someone explain to me the following terms

Transom Angle 15 degrees
Hull Deadrise 21 degrees

i beleive that the transom angle is the angle that the rear of the boat
should be but im not sure
