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.

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
