Berth length??

Boat shopping and we r tall. Found several good models (boat models not alternative wife models) but some reviews say "too short". That is subjective. I can find few specs for the berth lengths.

I found one model that hits every mark but then found an owner comment that the berths were only 6'3". Damn that's out.

Ideas?

Re: Berth length??

Generally speaking you should have a berth length +8" longer than the person sleeping in it.
Much of older boats have 6'2", now the standard is 6'6"...
