Bow Heavy Sea Craft

[Briguy]

Another Redneck answer. It seems all of your ideas don't really fix the problem or really diagnose what the problem is. How could the '79 boat sit stern heavy or level and the 82 boat sit bow heavy. The problem must be water somehow trapped foward to which some of you alluded too. To find out if there is, you must first borrow a stethoscope. Even a soup can may work. Put the boat on the trailer. While your buddy drives the truck with the trailer behind it slowly on deserted road or parking lot. Your job is to be in the cabin with the stethoscope listening for sloshing water sounds. When your buddy taps the breaks, you will hear water sloshing around if it's in there. How you get the water out is for you to dream up.

I could have put 200 pounds of lead shot in my forward anchor locker of my cc for my stern heavy problem but instead I put on a flotation bracket.
