These measurements were with a 1/8" - 1/4" of what I measured on a 1969 and 1970 Currituck as well. When I measured down I am taking the measurement from the bottom of the rubrail lip edge of the hull itself and not the rubrail itself. Measuring from the rubrail introduces a variable as there were different rubrails used through the years in different sizes on the 16/17 foot hulls depending on the model. The bottom of the lip edge of the hull was a constant. The best way I can describe what I am calling the rubrail lip edge is, it is the surface that turns from the rubrail mounting surface back up into an up-side-down U then transitions to the hull side. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I get 8.5" at the rear of the runner and 8.25" at the froward end before it curves. It is 13 3/4" from the transom but I think my decal is missing a slight clip right at the end so 13 1/2" may be closer to exact. I would bet they had some sort of guide template to get them pretty close but there could have been some play room that might explain the slight differences we are all reporting. I would go with Jeff's numbers and the only thing I can think that would look real bad is to have the front slanted slightly down. Gary

I have one that is straight and one that is slightly tipped up in front. I think it just depended on who put it on and which day of the week or how much hurry they were in... How many people that you know have a good eye for things being straight when they put something on? Only to find out later it is crooked.....
