Default Re: Bow Heavy Sea Craft

Steve,
Aside form adding another motor or more weight in the stern there isn't much you can do. I doubt very seriously that you have a stringer problem in that boat. The box stringers are built in such a way that they don't trap water and they sit quite a bit higher than the keel line of the boat. Water intrusion just isn't likely. I kept my boat in the water. So, for peace of mind I installed an automatic bilge pump forward under the cabin floor with an access plate (py Plate) above it. Solved the problem. As or your boat running better loaded than empty, got no clue?
