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.Grand River Marine Modellers

The boat actually doesn't look too bad from an appearance standpoint. Can you post some pics of the bottom?
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

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.Comment

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.Grand River Marine Modellers

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.Grand River Marine Modellers
