Pretty much all of those that are USCG probably used "simplified" measurement and so are all over the place. You can see USCG values by entering the first five characters of the HIN in the
USCG PSIX Search.
If I got it right the L38 would be "CNB38". A quick review of 180 returned vessels showed net starting about ~10 tons and gross as high as ~35 tons. None of those are going to be right, but those are the values that you get with simplified measurement. You could refine your search to a specific year/sub-model if you know the full HIN.
There are two that are documented in inspected passenger vessel
service, one is simplified 10/11 and the other is simplified 27/34, with length and beam being within 0.1 feet.
If you want to refine your search to get values that should be closer to "correct", review the "depth" measurement listed. You'll see many that are the
draft, but in USCG measurement speak the
depth is actually the height from the
deck to the bottom of the
hull, and in these vessels is at least walking
head room and a bit more. There's not a good way to search the database on that field, but if you see one that lists
depth as "3.8'" you know someone mis-understood the form and put in
draft. 7-8.5' is probably in the ballpark.
Quote:
Depth (D) is the vertical distance taken at or near amidships from a line drawn horizontally through the uppermost edges of the skin (outside planking or plating) at the sides of the hull (excluding the cap rail, trunks, cabins and deckhouses, and deck caps) to the outboard face of the bottom skin of the hull, excluding the keel.
