What engine do you have on this boat. Obviously it should not do this. You
have too much weight in the rear. Have you added anything that weights much
to the rear of the boat.
If you are carrying large tackle box, extra batteries, full tank of gas,
water in the livewell, anchors, etc... then you need to shift as much
forward as you can.

Also, you need to verify you don't have any leaks as opposed to water coming
in from over the back. A livewell hose leak can really fill the boat
quickly and cause the rear of the boat to be weighted down.

Also, do you not have a bilge pump to pump water out with. I would hate to
think I had 50 to 60 gallons of water (that is 8 x 50 = 400 lbs) in the rear
of the boat. That will definetly weight it down.

Help! I bought a Use Hydrosport 17ft fishing boat. Every time I go out
I take on water. When I'm just sitting there, water comes over the
transom and swamps my boat. This happens in water with a light chop or
rough waves.When I get home I pull the plug and get 50-60 gals. of
water from the hull. I've taken it in but all I get is a run around. I
can't find any leaks or cracks. Does anybody have any ideas? Is there
a reason for the stern to sit low in the water? I can't even stand in
the back of the boat without havig water up to my ankles. Thanks
