My measurements are from my 1976 Newport with a 14" logo. 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.
