and it says right in the title to the ad "16' Boat"
Then someone sends me an email asking "how long is it?"
I am mystificated.
Can anyone here tell me how long this 16' boat is ?
Does anyone know fer sure ???

I have a 19 foot boat that is 18 feet 6 inches long.
I'm better when I move.

You should reply that you have no idea so bring a tape measure if you want to see it.

Centerline is probably about 15'2". They usually measure small boats at the gunwale, which is of course longer.

Reminds me of going through the drive thru and asking for a Coke. Probably half the team I get the reply, "diet or regular?"
WTF did I ask for?

Tell them 4.8 meters. Ask them if they're okay purchasing a Metric boat.

Yup...I had a 38 ft Sea Ray that was actually 42 feet. Swim platform and pulpit adds differed from the data sheet.
Makes a big difference for someone wanting to garage a smaller boat. Trailer as well. In my case, it also cost me more to dock in Annapolis because they went bow to stern and in actual measurements. They didn't care what the date sheet said.
Not saying the guy is a dummy but his question is simply a qualifier.

So what is the mystery here? There isn't a fisherman in the world knows what a measurement in length is. How many times have you seen a fisherman call a 14 inch fish, 20 inches. The only bigger liar is a jogger when you ask him how far he ran this morning...
