Thank you, I will need this summer and next winter as well ha, rockfish season 2014 is my goal, wife and I want a brand new 40 year old boat, it's fun already. Guys here are great help with ideas, and knowledge. Hard going from a 19ft ski boat to a boat in ur backyard that measures 31ft from pulpit to swim deck. I bought a f25. Didn't realize that ment 25ft water line, I have the frigging titanic on blocks out back. Haha

hey dave- i have not measured the boat personally but i have all the manuals and it states with with swim platform it is 36'-3 3/4 inches and with platform and pulpit it is 39'-4 inches. i was in a 40'- slip last year and had the boat pulled forward to put a dinghy behind it and pulpit barely stuck past the end of the dock. good luck with your offer.as far as how i like my boat is a long story. i had a blast last year and met a lot of awesome and helpful people at the marina.my first year is gone and she has yet to sail.i had an engine issue when i bought her so i was replacing 1 and *** happened and i decided to replace both. i had marina drop me in and tow me to my slip and just called it the floating condo.one of my best summers on record lol. i took her home - pulled both engines and i'm almost done with them now. cleaning and painting engine room bilge. i sent canvas out for new windows and some stitching and removed radar arch-sand blasted her and its still at paint shop. replaced water heater and i'm sending ice maker out for an overhaul.alls thats left for this year is to pull the props and send em out to be redone.with any luck i'll be taking her for my first runend of may beginning of june GOOD LUCK AGAIN
