Here is the law. Max length 30 ft 6in. Swim platform not included in measurement. The ones you see on the lake were grandfathered which explains why you see older large boats.
Capt Brooks posted this:
220-6-.55 (f) titled Method of Measurement of Length under Regulation 220-6-.55 titled Lake Permit Regulation: For the purposes of the administration and enforcement of Act 2006-398, Acts of Alabama, and 33-6A-3.1, Code of Alabama 1975, the length of vessels shall be determined by measuring the straight line distance between the bow to the lowest part of the transom, excluding bowsprits, outboard motor brackets, rudders or other attachments, and excluding any swim platforms whether molded into the hull construction or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the length of the vessel as shown on the current vessel registration shall be prima facie evidence of the length of the vessel for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of Act 2006-398, Acts of Alabama and 33-6A-3.1, Code of Alabama 1975.
