They count the platform. A enticer L.O.A. is 29' 1'' with almost 2' of platform so its more like a older 27' boat with out a molded in platform.

Hey Morgansrun, I am not sure where you are located, I just put my 290 up for sale in Michigan. Loaded, $36,400.

General rule-of-thumb is that overall length includes the molded hull of the boat. If swim platform is part of hull it counts, if a bolt-on, it does not. Also for outboard (or flat transom I/O) boats. the length of motor or outdrive is not included. At the pointy end, bolt on bow pulpits don't count either. Some (like Tiara) don't include pulpit even when part of mold to be conservative.
