Waterline lenght or length on deck? Our boat was called a 32. Then they extended the hull to incorporate the swimplatform and still called it a 32 (our model). Then they called it a 32+. Now they call the exact same boat a 34. Our LOA is 34.5, so we just fit in our 35 foot slip (and our marina is very strict about boats not being longer than the slip). Nordic Tug did the same thing with the 37, which is now called a 39, and is actually about 39.5 feet.

We've recently started looking at the Bayliner 4788/Meridian 490. Bayliner says it is a 4788, Meridian a 490, but LOA is closer to 54 feet! Will need to find a new marina if we go that route, as ours won't take anything over 50.
