I think avournas is making a valid point. LOA used to be length on deck, now it includes sprits and scoops. A Hunter 41 may really have a LAO of 39. A friend of mine is a dealer and readily admits that the practice is common among all makers. I bought a 34 on deck that had a sprit and the dealer advertised it as a 35. My boat is a 34 with a 2 foot sprit.
