Howie, go by the rocker measurements only.

The boat and rocker is dead on the money. The waterline was an afterthought at one point of it's development and went through several updates in the hull design in which I did not update the waterline. I was actually going to remove but left in on there as a visual guide for any patterns of stripping. This boat was designed pretty much manually and refined with a nautical lofting program. You're obviously a very meticulous person and the second in many years to discover that. If you feel the waterline is something you want to strip to, cosmetically, just average it out to your taste. You have to remember, that my waterline is in an empty boat.

sorry for the delay response, I had no power for a day and only have an AC computer.
