Reggie was at the Thousand Islands poker run this past weekend and announced plans to host a kilo run and poker run on the Pamlico next year in conjunction with PRA

He was still in the drivers seat

Are you sure?

When were the international rules and standards changed for measurement?

LOA and LOW have never been part of the measurement of a boat. Unless it has changed, it is still keel parallel to the ground, and steel-tape measured between two plumb bobs at the end-point of the nose (not anchor winch or lights) to the most outward point of the transom, and bustles don't (didn't?) count, and IIRC, there is even a scheme for finding the transom if it is shrouded by a bustle or swim platform.

I understand extending the man a bit of respect, but I think the guy in the passenger seat was carrying it a bit to far.....

Is this "advancement" tweaking that can be done to a 2004-2014 hull?

BTW I'm another that always wanted a 42 and still have mine after owning it for 7 years. Great fun smooth boat still with original 525's on Merc 25-40 oil and never had the valve covers off.

I am pretty sure I know who the guy in the passenger seat is. Everyone on here knows from his constant cheerleading posts that he likes Reggie. Now we know he likes Reggie ALOT!

But your not suggesting Fountain is the only one to count a platform are you?
