It is an 18' 8" boat. Is this supposed to be a trick question?

Boston Whaler's 16'7" hull was called a 16 up until 1973, then it became a 17.

Based on that, I agree with Skargo. It is what the maker calls it.

My 2004 Trophy is 21' 7" it is considered a 20 footer, today, 2009 version it's called a 21 footer. Manufacturer's discretion.

Maybe its just me, but, WHY? Why are you asking the question?

It's as big as it is.

Call it what you like, maybe 18 ft. to your insurance co. 19 ft. for your ego.

Now, jump in the water and go boating!
