Traded in a 1991 Bandit,registration has it at 24',NADA says 24',but the model is a 223. How long is it? Don't want to mislead anyone when I advertise it.

Re: Bandit length
It is my understanding that back in the early 90s that the head guy at Baja had weird ideas on assigning names to boats. Therefore, we have the 223=a 24 ft. boat, 216=a 201/2 ft. boat, a 236=a 23' 8" boat, etc.
It all makes no sense to me!
