I think it is more likely that over the years, owners have put more and more gear on these boats which the designers never imagined when they designed them.
I know of many people that had to raise the waterline stripe 4-6” once all the cruising gear was installed. When I had my 25, I had it moved from Lake Ontario to Halifax. Contrary to what I thought, with the same gear on board it floated lower in the salt water than it had in fresh. I eventually had to raise the waterline stripe by 2”.

I believe many builders misreported draft and displacement to sell boats back in the 70's and 80's. Long ago, I noticed many differences between spec numbers and actual numbers for our boats. The 34/36 is spec'd for 4' 10 draft but the actual draft is closer to 5' 3". I once asked Rob Ball about this and he said marketing was responsible and beyond his control.
