Just plain noise.

Water line length is water line length.

What the reverse transom arrangement really does is limit how far aft
you can load heavy stuff.

You just displayed a total lack of understanding. I don't know of ANY
recreational vessel that is sold by LWL. All of them are sold by LOA.

Length over all INCLUDES that cosmetic appendage called a sugar scoop. Get a
clue.

I could tack a 3-foot sugar scoop on the transom of my fine blue water yacht
and VOILA! 'Cut the Mustard' suddenly becomes a 30-footer.

Only morons buy sugar scoop vessels because the 30-footer they pay for is
really a 27-footer. WAKE UP! People are just so brainwashed by adverts these
days. Most have no ability to see basic everyday reason and logic.

It's not just about $s per foot. If it was, choosing a boat would be a
no brainer.

You LIVE in a 27 foot boat? Wow. How can you do it? You don't pay marina
fees? How do you get away with that? What do the local authorities think
about you squatting on and polluting their waters. Certainly you are
breaking some laws. I have half a mind to drop a dime on you, Mr parasite.
