Boy am I glad I still had my boots on reading these posts. I have a rough idea what my F36 burns. Not even close. Thinking of trying to scrounge up a couple of 6bta's to do a repower later on.

All tanks empty, at dock, leans port 4 inches, normal ?

Thanks
Mitch

Nope. It's start by what's been added to the boat. Remodeling stuff, anything topside davits things like that. And welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forum Mitch , 4" seems a little much Hows it sit full ? what about the holding and water tanks ? Is the gen set near center ? Many boat lean a liltle and we can make it worse by the way we load them .

Tony,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, when I say port, looking at the equipment inside the boat everything is port side, 2 bathrooms, bar in pilot house, kitchen, etc. Gen is in middle.
I look at the setup, only way to offset, would be more fuel starboard. What am I missing ?
Currenty have 2 boats, the other, 37 Stapleton aft, it had a similar problem, last owner had 250 pounds concrete blocks for offset
This is my 19th boat
Thanks
Mitch

Are you sure the tanks are empty ? Have you ID'd all of them ?

Yes, you sound like my wife of 40 years. (Ha-Ha)

If 3 adults stand on the entrance edge, she levels out.
If the gen tank was full, starboard side, sure she would level out.
Just a stupid question.

I got very lucky, paid 1/2 price, for the age, she is a 9.5

Thanks again
Mitch

Mitch if it would sit level with a full tank on the genset makes me wonder if the formor owner changed somthing so it would be level with a full tank of gen fuel ? Just a tought

look forward to the photos

Tony,

I like your attitude, "And like a wife of 40 yrs would say here's your tools find it yourself." Well said.
Right now, no problems with the boat.
Gasoline 4 dollars a gallon this summer, may need your credit card number.

Looking forward to reading other issues on this site.

Respectfully yours
Mitch
