personally I like to stop 2 and 9/16ths off...


Are you sure that's wise? That extra 7/16 ths is a vital safety margin
and could be the difference between an impressive landing and a long
scratch in the gel coat. The gel coat is only about 1/16 inch thick, you
know.

I must be lousy at docking. I give myself 3.125 inches off the dock when I
stop with my boat.
