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

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.

Perhaps I should have said many instead of most, but the basic principle
holds. I had an older Luhrs 32, and 4 friends had essentially the same
boat, all at different marinas. We all had the same problem. Prow to
transom, the vessel measures just about 31.5, but with swim platform and
small anchor pulpit she would tape out a bit over 34', and that was the
charge.
