I believe the E-bay dude just needs to know how much of the hull will rest on his lift, overall length less swim platform is not relevant. As much of the hull (bow) will never touch the lift or racks. Here is some dimensions that jsimon gave me for his 03' 268 Vista.

Ok, from the transom (right below the drain plug) to the bow eye, down the center of the keel, is 21' 1". If you want to encompass the "pods" that the trim tabs are mounted on, add 14".
Thus my comment above. Which was pretty close just from memory. Your 278 will be the same.
