[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 197031, member: 55"] First two digits are length in feet. Ex. 14' long. Second two digits have a couple of meanings. On a flatbottom or mod vee (hard chine hull), they are the width of the bottom, in inches. Therefore, a 1448 is a flatbottom or mod vee that is 14' long, and is 48" at the bottom. On a vee hull (or any soft/rounded chine hull), the numbers are more confusing. Some list them as the beam (widest point at the top of the boat), and some list them as the width at the top of the transom. In my experience, the former was more common. Therefor, my old Grumman V1256 was 12' long, and 56" inches at the beam. [/QUOTE]
