Hi does anyone know what the deadrise is on a Trailcraft Trailblazer 660. Looking to purchase a thru hull transducer but haven't got access to the boat at the moment to measure it.

I had a 5.8, Im pretty sure
I had a 5.8, Im pretty sure its 15 or 16 degrees.
If you are going to buy one get trim tabs as they tend to lean into the wind and then bang badly. Running flat is a great improvement with the tabs.
They are a great boat, much maligned but very tough. Ive sold mine now but would definitely consider a 660 with the right outboard on it.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Thanks Robh already have the boat, was going to order the transducer while I'm at work and hopefully it would arrive by the time I get home. I agree with the comments you make, they are a good honest tough boat without all the bells and whistles. If your looking for a boat with a deck that is huge they are hard to go past. The boat has a 150 suzuki on and goes well, economy is outstanding. Saying that if I was buying the boat from new I would probably go with a 175. Trim tabs are the next project.
