Fessing up

I'm pretty sure that rather than getting out a tape measure, the MP will simply read the length from your registation.

JRC, from what I've heard at some local marinas, its starting to be an issue since the registration is supposed to be based on LOA, but is usually based on the bill of sale. Sometimes they don't jive, and if the state's missing out on any revenue, well ... you know the rest

The marine patrol used the length as shown on the registration. The boat has a swim platform and the hull length is actually less. As such, based upon hull length, I would not have to carry a bell. With the platfrom (LOA - shown on the registration), I am the proud owner of a bell.

Hope this helps.
