Hi JohnB-

Here's what I noticed this past w/end after just getting back from Fishers Island,NY w/my little boat. It's a great place to go boating if you and the guys are ever up this way. Anyhow, I filled her up completely on the return trip, in which case I believe is a total of 75 gal. of fuel on my boat. Now I'm definately sitting a bit low on my starboard side towards the stern and your right about the fuel gauges, mine is certainly far from being accurate. I'm seeing that the water line is low only in the stern area which may be a weight distribution problem as you mentioned. My starboard scupper is at or about 1/2 to 3/4 in the water while my port scupper is steady at about a 1/2. I'll have to try removing everything off the boat this coming w/end and see if that makes a big difference or not. I'll have to check the stringers along w/ the rest of the boat when I get it out of the water in another month or so. Unfortunately I'll be storing the boat outside once again this winter so I guess trying to dry the transom out indoors won't work to well. Anyone in the Westerly,RI area wanting to stop by and offer an opinion as to what they think, please drop me an email, I'd appreciate it. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
