I have a 31' Beneteau First 1993 shoal draft.
I bought the boat 3 years ago. At the time I noticed that it listed to starboard.
It might be my imagination but I think is listing more.
If viewed on the Starboard side the water is even with the white stripe just above the bottom paint. If viewed on the Port side the white stripe is about 2 inches above the bottom paint.
When viewed from the bow or stern there appeards to be a list to Starboard.
If I use a plumb line at the bow the list is about 3/16 inch in 1 foot. So I would guess that the boat lists about 1 inch at the water line.
I have checked the weight distribution of the fuel, waste and fresh water and it does not make any difference whether they are full or empty.
There are no leaks at the keel bolts.
Do anyone else have a similar problem?
