      It apears to measure over 35 inches long. So it would be a Q boat, not a P or P-limited.

        its only 32" long.

        As for the other measurements for the two organizations...some are straightforward...others are difficult to comprehend...again, someone who actually knows how to interpret them, tell me and I'll measure...not going to waste time otherwise.

          I wouldn't have started two "P" threads is the length was over 34"

            Doby,

            Take a picture of the bottom, open it in Microsoft paint and draw lines to show the various measurements. We'll help you figure it out.

              Also, some dimensions I'd be interested in seeing:


              1) Tunnel width 173mm
              2) Pickle-Fork Depth (tips of sponsons to leading edge of center section)
              3) Transom width at it's narrowest point 185mm
              4) Tunnel Depth at rear-most of ride-pad 25mm
              5) Distance from aft of ride pad to the transom 445 mm
              6) AoA
              7) Dihedral angle
              8) Tunnel break location

              Added some dimensions above

                Nope...somebody show me a diagram of how to measure the rest....I'm interested in others interpretations of the rules...should be interesting to see how many are different....so far no-one has answered my initial request.

                    OK?
                    I can't interpret what I can't see or measure.
                    A picture would help in guiding you for measuring

                          Did you use the namba guidelines for measuring a boat to come up with that?

                          Since the rule book scares you.

                          4. Hull Measurement Guidelines
                          a) When a hull minimum or maximum length measurement is specified for any
                          class, that hull will be measured by placing two vertical straight edges at the
                          furthest points fore and aft of the bow and transom of the hull. The distance
                          between those two vertical straight edges will be measured. Hardware will
                          not be included in the measurement.
                          b) The hull will be placed between those two vertical edges and situated in the
                          same horizontal position in which the hull would ride on the water. Any
                          flanges, “shoebox” overhangs or other parts of the hull that are part of the
                          original manufacturing process will be included in the measurement.
                          I try and avoid paste eaters.

                            P max is 34"...this boat is 32" should..not be to hard to understand for you.....under 34=P...over 34=Q

                            Read the NAMBA rule book......its some of the other things in the Electric P-Sport section that are "confusing"...not scary...Although it is close to Halloween.

                                Section #20 of the NAMBA rule book, para 12 actually has a diagram...so that helps.....


                                So...

                                #10 says: no boat shall have an afterplane greater than 60% of the total hull length..

                                overall length is 812mm
                                60% would be 487.2mm
                                actual measurement is 455mm...which is less that 60%

                                My interpretation would be that it meets this requirement.
