Now this is confusing if you look at where their site direct you for boat sizing, i have a 2005 quinnie 475 coast runner total lenght 5.04mtrs from nose(no not from the roller but where the hull meets the small bow spirit)to the back where the motor sits. As my pod is not removeable and is part of the hull is it included?
Now if i take a measurement to the back of the boat before the pod its under the 4.8mtrs
I consider my boat to be over the 4.8 mtrs as thats its total hull lenght is 5.04mtrs
What are your thoughts, as i gather there will be several people is this predicament you maybe can have the waterways respond on this!!!

Quoting there definiton
How do I determine the length of my vessel?
The length of the vessel means its length of its hull. This includes all structural and integral parts of the craft, such as wooden, plastic or metal stem or sterns, bulwarks and hull/deck joints.
Hull length excludes removable parts that can be detached in a non-destructive manner and without affecting the structural integrity of the craft, eg outboard motors, swimming platforms, bowsprits, fittings or attachments. This measure is consistent with the International Standard, Small Craft – Principal Data Standard.
