    Hey MT I have a friend that just bought a 2014 360EC. When I docked right next to him my 2002 342FV was a tad longer. However his boat was much taller. BTW the 2014 360EC is an awesome boat....

    My club just measured my boat because they are charging by LOA now. I started a thread on this about a month ago. My boat came in at 38'5". Seems a little long to me....lol but it is worth checking into. Also if you do a search on YachtWorld.com you will see most 342's are listed as 37 footers. My guess is that the 342 and 360 are about the same size hull. My 342 has a much bigger swim platform.

    MT, should've went for that '3 hr' old 400!  & it sounds like you are a foot & a half short, but hey, those transient slips won't get the best of you now.  & don't be so upset about the kids. :D

    Geez, my '04 270 is over 32' from the back edge of the swim platform to the roll bar on the anchor sitting in the roller.
    ..... shhhh. If I'm in a transient slip it's just a 270 :D

    It's hard to explain a '34 foot' 342 in a 35' slip and a few feet hanging out lol.  :D

    Tiki, I bet it's tough to tell the ladies wearing bikinis working in the marinas that you're true LOA is 27'!  (hence why they do it)  Makes you want to man up and tell them the true length!

    DI, lol

    A true gentleman never brags to the ladies about how big his "yacht" is....especially if it's shorter than claimed. It should be left as a pleasant surprise that it's actually more than expected.  Let your swagger tell the whole story. B-)

    Well, I accepted the 360 EC length as mentioned on the website regardless of "printed brochure" printing error's do happen DAHHH :(|)
     I'm attaching the dimensional drawing received from the plant to book overseas shipping and I'm actually using it  now to get trailer quote as well.
    MT Seriously I really appreciate if you re-measure your boat again and feed me back. can you recommend a trailer brand. Currently I'm negotiating a deal with Continental trailer  
    My 360 EC is currently in Production 380hp Seacore Axius .Khaki with Mocha inlay, Private room you name it Super Excited  :D

    Looking good Michael. I'll check it out tomorrow when we're down for the pancake breakfast. How's the ice doing on the lake, any idea when they'll start launching?

    Hey Excuse my late reply! Seems smthg wrong with my setting! I don’t receive notification on replies and Just noticed I can go back to participated discussions :-B glad to see your replies, with a new boat I hope the ATM use is limited to operation or at least I guess so lol

     I cruise in Egypt (yeeap the land of the pharoz) at both coastal lines of Mediterranean & Red Sea, as well as river Nile sunshine All year around, crystal clear Sea water actually 2 out of the worldwide top 10 beaches n coastal shores are in Egypt. And that’s not just it! ATM is more than happy to pay $1.00 per gallon of fuel ^:)^

    Fact is, 360 is going to be “Trailer-able" allowing me to haul it from one Sea to the other, or the river between different seasons. 360 EC will to be my first cruiser! In comparison with other nemesis I’m happy with LOA & wide Beam for a comfortable ride, shallow draft to weight factor , headroom is perfect, yes your right the separate shower is a BIG PLUS with my kids onboard had to have the state room for added privacy, some would consider it sacrificing the breathable extended cabin length but I trust it is going to be just fine at the end of the day both the long cabin length n specially the wide 12' beam should compensate. again my hopessssss.

    Thanks for re-measuring your measurments are approximately inline with the drawing :-bd  I compared your tap measurements to drawing dim your (main Hull = 32’8”) is almost equal to drawing Dim D 388” (32’4”). while your (main hull + Swim platform = 36’ ") is again almost to drawing Dim E 436”(36’4”)  finally I can’t comment on the protruded anchor roller it is just a negligible 1’6” lol now from your angle do you see this protrusion in hi polish finish St. St. or is it going to be added to home work list?  .. (I mean is it eyes dazzling  or just greed baffling) ROFLL 

    Your boat black color scheme with the matching canvas is bold I also notice the rumble seat canvas Smart =D> is it your making? Or comes std?  I like that J since everybody around has Black I opted to Navy with red strip line. Yet Navy is giving me hard time with bottom antifouling coat not sure which RAL color code should I buy, still researching that. and waiting for Rinker reply on that some time soon hopefully.

    until we talk again best regards
