But first, model numbers don't always reflect the actual LOA. I don't

what the official LOA is of a 49 GB, but I think it's a little bit bigger.
WayneB would know.


The actual LOA counting the swim platform and bow pulpit is closer to
54 ft. That is a confidential number of course. :-)

What really counts is how big the boat "lives", and how easy is it to
handle. The GB49 scores well on both counts. I took ours out for a
quick spin by myself yesterday and had no issues at all. I've done it
several other times just to keep in practice.


You are back at your home port?

I miss many posts due to going back and forth between the house and the
boat. I usually just hit the "catch up" on the computer I haven't used for
a few days.
