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”.

Subject: Stus-List boat specs misreported
Glad to see actual draft reported for the 37/40. 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.
