1998 hunter passage 450 form CG-5397

[Breezy Rider]

Hello,
Does anyone know the correct measurements for a 1998 Hunter Passage 450 to fill out a correct CG-5397 form.
The overall depth is hanging me up.
The top of the deck to the bottom of the keel?
Any help would be very appreciated.

They are looking at your boat's water depth, not the overall distance from the deck to the bottom of the keel.
Your printed draft (how low your boat dips into the water)

Max Draft:

5.50 ft / 1.68 m

You are safe to enter this number in the form.

This is incorrect. The dimension is the waterline to the deck for a detached keel. It is the draft plus the distance from the waterline to the deck (shearline). It is clearly specified on the application the dimensions that are required.

To answer the OP's question, take your best guess if you can't measure it. The measurement is used to calculate the net tonnage of the vessel and the answer is always rounded, I don't think you'll ever see a NT number that is not a whole number.
