Transferring CA troll permit - boat length

[surfbum]

I would like to transfer a CA troll permit that is currently on a 20' boat.
I heard that I can go up to 25'??? . But as far as confirming the length of the replacement vessel, how is that determined by DFW? One boat is registered as 25' on the DMV paperwork, but that appears to be waterline measurement and not the length that run from the bow to the transom.
Anyone with clues?

You will need to provide an LOA survey for each vessel.
