Good catch!

Thought the end to end measurement of the boat is well over 28' the running surface of the bottom ends well before the end of the swim platform, maybe 4'

The layout makes for an interesting balance and centerpoint for weight.

It had a great ride in Winnipesaukee water conditions.

We just moved up from a 23' Caravelle Interceptor with a good size swim platform pushing its end to end length to 25', but for the few feet difference the Formula is a totally different boat.

Much heaver, better rough water ride, more interior space, but MUCH slower overall and doesnt really loosen up like smaller boats at higher speed and higher trim levels.

Not complaining at all, just observing its a very different experience than all my other previous boats.

So far we LOVE it!

Its always good to end up being happy with a purchase of this level
