    A simple newbie question, when talking of deadrize in a boat hull, is the angle calculated using one side of the hull center line against a horizontal plane or the combined angle of both sides of the hull?

    I've always seen the angle between horizontal and the bottom on one side used as the deadrise angle. A more precise definition is given in the ITTC Dictionary of Hydromechanics. http://ittc.sname.org/CD 2011/Dictionary/ITTC Alphabet Dictionary 2011.pdf

    Most deadrise specifics published is at the transom.

    How is it defined when the keel is rounded and the chine is reversed? I have seen this somewhere but could not recall.

    The bottom surface is projected to the centerline, so the vertex of the angle is in space below the hull. If there is a lifting strake with a downward angled surface to the outside corner, the upper extent of the deadrise, at least as far as I have worked, is taken to the inside corner of the lifting strake. If the bottom is slightly rounded (usually convex--bowed outward, but can be concave--bowed inward) the deadrise is taken as the chord of the curve from centerline to inside corner of the strake (or chine if there is no strake).

    If you are interested in slamming, would the deadrise at midships, or further forward, be more useful?

    It depends on how specific you need to be on a particular boat. A true deep V will have the deadrise equal all along the waterplane. A warped bottom normally has varying deadrise all along the waterplane, so one number will not make much sense. A monohedron will normally be warped from the stem to 60% aft of the stem and constant from there to the transom. The warped bottom will need a minimum of two stations defined, with one at the transom and another about 25% aft of the stem. The more complicated the bottom shape, the more stations will need to be defined.

    Another measure that is common is the bow half angle. This is a horizontal half angle taken at the stem along the waterline. It defines the deadrise at the bow better than a single vertical measure in that area. Unless the hull bottom has an unfair shape, these are all that are necessary for most purposes.
