CLASS OF 23: This is a division for boats whose manufacturer classify, advertise, and publish the manufacturer’s length as a 23'11" foot vessel or less (Cannot exceed 23'11" waterline). The SKA will not physically measure any boat to determine its length. If the manufacturer classifies its product as something greater than 23' to 23'11" then the vessel will not be eligible to compete in the Class of 23 regardless of the boat’s overall length. Horsepower will  not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendation for that boat for it to be allowed to compete in the Class of 23. The boat cannot exceed 23’ 11” waterline length regardless of the manufacturer’s size claim. You will be automatically be placed in this class upon registration of your boat with the SKA at the first tournament you fish. You may choose to fish the Open Division in a Class of 23 boat, however, we must have your written authorization on file to change classification in the SKA Corporate Office and this must be done before you fish your first tournament of the season.
