is there a way to control the size of rectangle in pygame?

am using this code to draw rectangle in my image,

def __init__(self):
    pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
    self.image=pygame.image.load(os.path.join(image_folder,"Player.png"))
    self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
    self.vel_x = 0
    self.speed = 30
    self.friction = 3.5
    self.rect.center = (420,360)
    self.delta = clock.tick(FPS) / 1000.00

but the method get_rect() is drawing the rectangle on the entire loaded image like this enter image description here

and i want it to be like this enter image description here

You could create a rectangle where you know the hull will be, if the hull will be in the same place and the same size every time

self.rect = pygame.Rect(hulltop,hullleft,hullwidth,hullheight)

In your case hullwidth might be the image width and hullheight looks like your image height minus hulltop.

If you have different hulls, you might consider having the hull and the mast/sail in separate image files, creating your outline of just the hull, then joining the images. Alternatively you could create a dict of the different hull sizes and use that to determine the size and position of the rectangle to draw.

You're getting the Rect of the image. If you want to have a differently sized Rect, you're going to need to create one.
