Listing to starboard

[gatorbob]

I recently purchased a 2007 13 ft sport. When alone and at or near idle speed the boats lists quite a bit, With a passenger,list is gone. The answer seems obvious, at 250 lbs I need to lose weight. Could there be another factor at play? I just dont think the boat was designed to list with a single passenger. The boat is in near mint condition with only 100 hrs or so. Thanks for your help

A 13 footer does not weigh a heck of a lot.If you have a battery ,put that and the portable gas tank on the opposite side.You gotta shoot for some balance to help you cause.Charlie

Thanks Charlie. Will move battery, gas tank is on port side. Hope this works. Its alot cheaper than trim tabs!

Take your 250lb body and stand on the port side and see if the list follows you.

Trim tabs won't help at idle speed.
