That depends what you want to measure - its length, its mass, its color, etc.
A boat's length overall dictates the equipment the boat must have to comply with federal and state laws.
A web reference states "The beam of many monohulls can be calculated by using the following formula."Beam=LOA(Length overall) in feet to the power of 2/3 +1Hope this helps.
To calculate the linear square footage of a boat, you would measure the length of the boat in feet and multiply it by the average beam (width) of the boat in feet. This will give you the total square footage of the boat's surface area. Keep in mind that this calculation assumes the boat's hull has a rectangular shape, so it may not be entirely accurate for boats with irregular shapes.
You can do so in any unit but in backward countries people talk of boat lengths in feet because they use the imperial system. More properly they should use the international standard unit of length which which the meter and would be understood worldwide.
Oh, dude, you'd use feet or meters to measure a boat's length. Unless you're feeling adventurous and wanna use cubits like Noah did with his ark. But let's be real, who even knows how long a cubit is these days?
The length of a motor boat is not restricted
