lwl or water line is the shortest but sets the max speed on displacement hulls
loa or overall inc anything sticking out bowsprits rudders ect
lod or deck length is most common messure not inc sticking out stuff
docks charge by the foot of dock space used but rules vary a lot
beam is widest points for fixed hull so outside the airchambers on the blowup boat
draft is what ever it is NOW based on the load carried and when you hit bottom!!!!!!!!
want to get more confused
try to figure messured tonnage
hint it has NOTHING to do with weight or displacement
but is required for government documentation
