Drift Boat Length - Advantages and Disadvantages




Drift Boat Plans - Advantages and Disadvantages Of Length

Drift Boat Length



The long measurement of the boat.

There are two very important "lengths" in hull design; length overall, and length of the waterline. Length Overall is the measurement from the most forward point of the drift boat to the most rearward point. And when selecting the right drift boat plans, it is important to select plans that offer you multiple length options.

Length of the waterline is the measurement of the most forward point of the drift boat that touches the water and the most rearward point of the boat that touches the water.
