I have a 1987 26.5. The outboard motor mount is on the starboard side and I have a Nissan 9.9 Hp mounted. Viewing the boat from the rear I can see that is is listing slightly to starboard, even with the port mounted fresh water tank full. The boat sails fine. Is this normal or is this possibly a symptom that I should investigate further.

not balanced

The weight of the engine is creating the list it's not a problem and could be corrected by the same weight on the port to offset the heavy engine battery and fuel tank. JB

Just like JB

Jeff: Don't worry your boat is just like JB, a little out of balance but really nice other than that <haha>. No offense Jim, that's why we keep you around so we can pick on you.
