[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 497198, member: 24594"] It's certainly not definitive, but in my world, a jon boat's width is measured at the floor for the sake of the moniker. The actual width of any boat however, is it's [I]beam[/I] or measurement at widest part, gunnel to gunnel - whether that's at the transom or midship. Additionally - especially with vintage v-hulls - one can also have the[I] transom width[/I] quoted - which is relevant to mounting single or twin motors. And for what it's worth, "Deep C" isn't a generic term, it's an actual model name from Alumacraft. All their early boats had hulls tagged with letters of the alphabet. The C hull boats were all 15' and identical from the gunnels down, but were outfitted differently topside to create the Deep C, the Flying C, the Open C, the Super C, etc... Similarly, they had a 14' known as the F hull, a 12' known as the R hull, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
