370SS Hull length

[AllDodge]

Fella on OSO forum is looking for the hull length of the 370SS. Not total length from bow to swim deck, but from transom to bow. Anyone have one out of the water?

He emailed TAG but no response

I think it's exactly 37'. I've never actually measured mine but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. I'll be at my boat this weekend and I'm still on the hard so I can measure if you need it.

That is what some are thinking, and if you think about it and not to much trouble it would be great, thanks

Excuse my artistic skills (or lack there of), but this is what they need right?

Correct
The issue is he wants to turn into outboards. The place he is located has a max length and can get by with the 37 if its just 37 feet long or close to (my understanding). Could hang a string off the bow and use a 50 ft tape from the transom to get close (not counting the transom angle)

I posted this on the OSO forum thread but wanted to post it here also if it's ever needed.

In case you are not familiar with the 370 hull design, the keel ends 11" forward of the transom (see first pic). True LOA (to my understanding at least) is the running surface of the hull so this would end at the keel. Using a plumb bob I took three measurements from the bow (not the anchor which extends further), to the end of the keel (A) was about 34' 7", to the transom where the out drives attach (B) was about 35' 6" and to the end of the molded swim platform (C) (not the optional extended platform in '05) was about 37' 0". All measurements are give or take an inch or so.

Thanks, I saw your post, sure the guy will appreciate it

Excuse my ignorance on this subject but wouldn't this be a lot of $$$?

I received this from TAG when I was installing my boat lift. I hope it helps.
