Chuck,

I am not wild about it either.

Here is what I am planning on doing:
1. When i go down to my boat next I am going to make sure that there is no water in the bracket. Obviously if there is I am going to remove it.
2. As a temporary measure I am thinking of putting a couple bags of sand (150 to 200 pounds) in the bow storage area. Does anyone see an issue with this?
3. I need to get the engines raised. I just have to find someone who has the time to do it.

Also, I have reached out to the previous owner. I did take the boat on a sea trial with him and the surveyor. Between the three of us that was close to 700 pounds (the surveyor was a really big guy). The boat handled fine and it was sloppy out there.
