Generally, overall length is measured in a straight line from the foremost part of the bow (front) to the aftermost part of the stern (back). Express and enter the overall length in feet (round off fractions of a foot to the nearest foot). For example:
• BLE/12 for 144 inches
• BLE/19 for 18 feet, 9 inches
• BLE/16 for 16 feet, 3 inches
• BLE/08 for 8 feet
