If it was built before 90......the length typically does not
include
the
pulpit and swim platform.....saves money on docking charges ;-)
(Mine
says 28 on the title......even though it is longer than newer 32's)

Not necessarily. Most marinas in this area charge on the overall
length.




The ones I have gone to have always just looked at the numbers on the
side or the title.



Ours charge by the length of the slip, regardless of the length of boat.

My marina does, but I was talking about transient slips, like at
P.I.B. for eample. My boat says 28 on the side, they did question it once
but once they looked at the title, they accepted it. I guess it depends on
the marina, and the experience of the dock hands.
