Subject: chb length
Here is the issue and need: Stall length limitation are maximum overall length 33'.(10% over length-30-foot stall by design)
Here is the question: Assuming overall measurements of a 34-foot CHB includes the anchor rest (anchor?) and the swim step. Is this a correct assumption?
The solution if this is accurate, to obtain a 33-foot max overall would necessitate removal of the anchor rest or modifying by making the rest a folding unit, or install a brass flip style anchor device, remove the forward stainless handrail and install new sloping handrails from a determined location mid-ship to taper down behind the bow cap. Remove the swim step.
Would these actions bring the overall length to 33' or do these suggested modifications equal more the physical hull length of stated "34" over all?
When I wander alongside models of this craft, the ability to accurately measure in the water is a challenge. Hoping that some soul had accomplished such a measurement for their needs.
Cheers,
Al
