Boat leaning bad

[Chris Owenby]

Hey guys lastnight me and my friend went out to do some night fishing. Well the boat did great out from the launch. 2nd hole she really leaned on his side. He weighs around 260 to 280 i weigh around 190. There is 3 batteries in the back 2 behind driver side 1 passenger. I probably had around 12 to 15 gallons. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Does it list or lean when on pad running fast and trimmed out?

list or lean whats the difference? it did lean bad with him on the passenger side i got him to sit more towards the middle and it got better. but is there anything i can do to make it better. i had a 16 foot venture kricket bass boat and it never did this so i dont know what to do. thanks mini

you could try keeping the lightest objects in the port rod box and all you heavier ones in the starboard side.

also if he has a full tackel bag at his feet it can weigh as much a 50lbs , balance this in the center of the boat.

if your trolling motor is mounted on the port side an even load would cause a slight list to the port side so you must counter that plus the weight of your buddy and his gear in comparison to your weight.

you buddy may just be heavier than you estimate a guy the weighs 280 looks remarkably similar to a guy that weighs 310



list= slight

lean=dramatic

Ok thanks joe so should i leabe the 2 batteries behind the driver side

i'd say they only help where they are by offsetting your freinds weight.
