I'm looking at getting my Captains license. As part of the course, you need to have some many days driving a certain size boat. I was wondering what I should put down? I know Length (36'7") and Width (12'9"). But Depth (37") does not seam right. Also I have a fly bridge and need to account for that in section #7. Any thoughts?

It's listed as 17,414 pounds, but that's not it's carrying capacity.

If you use the link bellow, it calculates your gross tonnage and net tonnage.

Gross tonnage is the inside volume off the hull if you filled it with water, approximately.
So the bottom of the hull to the lowest part that water could fill.
In my case, the bottom of the hull to the top of the cockpit.about six feet.
On my 4207, from the bottom of the hull to the top of the aft deck. So about nine feet.
Approximately.
That's why they ask the shape of the hull.

Depth at 37" should be right if ur referring to draft? Our 355 only drafts 39"! But looking at the form it appears they want the measurement from the gunwale to the keel!
