SUGGESTIONS, NO RIGHT ANSWER

IF YOUR RENTING A SLIP BY THE FOOT  ITS A 25 UNLESS THEY CARE ABOUT PULPITS AND PLATFORMS

A LOT OF SAILBOAT PULPITS GET CHOPPED TO REDUCE SLIP REQUIREMNTS.
IF YOUR SELLING IT, ITS A MODEL #251, APROX 25 FOOT HULL  27'4"LOA WITH PULPIT -EXCLUDING OPTIONAL  PLATFORM?
JUST TAKE LOTS OF MEASUREMENTS
BEAM AMIDSHIP, WATERLINE LENGTH,ETC.

I agree it depends who are talking to, just imported one into Australia (see customisations and upgrade section) 25ft walkaround sounds great but that is approx waterline length or bow eye to molded fibreglass transom, see attached pic, all in inches, sorry about quality but it is one I found while doing research on these models, says 25 walk but is definately 251 and going by the hardtop is a pre 1998, same dimensions anyway till end of model in 2000. Anyway total length bow sprit to prop is over 30 ft, my overall towing length coupling to raised prop is just under 11mtrs or 35 ft now thats a hell of a lot of boat. Anyway to split the difference I'm telling most people she's about 27ft, which suits its huge array of offerings in a trailerable walkaround.
Hope all this helps.
