23' Sceptre with listing port/ starboard

[Jeff79Sceptre]

Tank was made by Sunshine. It's baffled. It's custom. It was $$

Maybe your hull has the hook in it causing the list and also correctible ?

My Sceptre lists to starboard. What I figured out was 2 Furunos, 2 Icoms, all other misc electronics, auto pilot pump, gauges, steering assembly , wiring, etc. puts me about 120+- lbs extra weight to starboard. I put around 120 lbs up in the port side v berth and looked at the boat from all angles on the dock and she was all evened up. My house batteries are in the transom centered so I'm making a custom battery box under the port v berth to relocate them which should put me close to balanced out.

I also have a second station too. Boat has eisenglass on 3 sides. The hull is fine. I use the boat to go 50nm without blinking an eye. I have twin etecs. I'm thinking that maybe a 4 blade prop would help. Some stern lift might be the answer. But the boat does not ride bow high. And when I'm loaded for fishing I usually keep 200lbs of ice in forward fishbox. ( custom insulated, the old step down for Sceptre modified). I certainly get windage with enclosure.

Divinycell. Check my spelling on that but the core is constructed out of it.

Not my idea........but maybe the fuel tank being a bit forward and holding so much fuel affecting the ride.....
