I sketched the lines and structural configuration of the DEADRISE 19 while camping on the upper Chehalis River in 1986 My goal was to produce a design that would allow 1st time builders to construct a whitewater jet sled.without metalworking skills and welding equipment. I also wanted to see how far I could go in minimizing material wastage in the construction of a given sized hull. Using a 32 X 48 inch module and scarph-joining the panels with their face-grain in a cross planked arrangement, I was able to arrive at the hull form I had envisioned with an amazing material savings.
To ensure passenger safety, the Deadrise 19 features a hull that has sufficient freeboard and reserve stability to prevent capsizing in the event of a broach or other mishap. Like all my power and sail designs, it is fitted with 3 point flotation to keep it afloat and upright in the unlikely event that it is swamped.Two distinct interior layouts are presented in the plans: the first is the "bowrider" runabout layout, as shown in the illustrations. This configuration features step-through access to the forward seating/storage area, as well as a hugh open cockpit for fishing or diving. Additional seating in the cockpit can be provided for a ski observer, etc., as required. The second configuration features a completely open cockpit with a center console that can be positioned fore or aft, as desired.
I drew the D-19 plans on vellum with India Ink and Rapidograph pens, which allowed me to show fine lines and very detailed lettering.
Specs:
• Length Overall: 19'0" (16'-22' at builder's option).
• Beam: 7'5"
• Hull weight: 750lbs @19'
• Angle of Deadrise: 10 degrees at transom
• Power: Outboard or I/O unit to 140hp; Inboard jet to 185hp
