Almost a Lakesailor?

 

[ElJames]

Thanks but I need the actual size of a finished model please

In the links above relating to the P 40 they mention that the LOA is 41' 7" including the bow pulpit, and 40' 8" excluding the pulpit.

Are you thinking that the 'finished model' does not conform to these dimensions?

I doubt that the bow roller extends further than the forward end of the pulpit - the roller probably only has a small overhang.
But even without the roller you are still 8" over your 40' limit.
And I don't see how you can shave 8" off your swim platform too easily!

Is your marina adamant that your LOA cannot be more than 40'?

Frequently davits are taken into account when the marina tape measure comes out.
Took my davits off.
Not because of cost.
No need for them and they are a pain when getting into confined spaces especially on non tidal waters.

Bathing platform cannot be modified as the hull includes the platform.
How soon arose you after this info as I am due to be lighted in about a month
