How to measure boat length. How should the vessel length be measured. The hull length should be measured from the point of the bow to the transom excluding bowsprits outboard motors and other appendages. Any part of the vessel which contributes to the buoyancy of the vessel should be included in the vessel length eg.
Pontoons on inflatable vessels or houseboats. Overall Boat Length measurement should be measured from the tip of the bow to the centermost part of the stern. This would be from the most aft fixed appendage attached to the boat to the forward most fixed appendage of the bow or bow pulpit.
This length is known as length overall LOA. Some boat manufacturers still take measurements from the hull length. This is measured from the point of the bow to the transom excluding bow sprits outboard motors and other appendages.
To throw a real spanner in the works a handful of boat manufacturers have been caught simply making it up. Length overall is measured from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern of the vessel. Outboard motors and motor brackets.

The diagrams display the correlation between the boat hull and trailer dimensions. If you would like to look up boats dimensions or weight click here. The Bow Eye to Transom measurement as shown in the accompanying diagrams is the most critical in sizing a trailer for boat length.
Pulpits and Euro transoms are generally not supported by the. Jon boats are measured both in width and length. To find the length you measure from the center of the transom rear of the boat to the bow or front tip of the jon boat.
To determine the width of a jon boat measurements are taken on the beam width in the middle part of the boat. When boating the length overall dictates the equipment the pleasure craft must carry to comply with Canadian law.

Or oa is the maximum length of a vessels hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is important while docking the ship. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth for example 250 per metre LOA.
LOA is usually measured on the hull alone. So you should just measure the height of the boats transom from the center down to the lowest point of the hull and compare transom height with the outboard shaft length numbers. Remember to measure the outboard shaft length straight up.
