For the first time ever, I am docked next to an identical boat, another
8.5 M S2. His boat seems to be a year newer but has nearly identical
lines. However, I have always suspected that my boat is slightly down
at the bow, that is, she doesnt float parallel to the indicated
waterline. His boat does float right. I have no excess weight in the
bow and try to concentrate weight in the stern so what is happening
here? Even when the mast was down she floated this way. My boat has
always been this way but I am just wondering.
You're talking 2 boats built a year apart ..... but take 2 boats built
side by side at the same time with identical spec.'s and you're apt to
run across the same thing ..... float different, handle different,
develop individual quirks.
Unless you are having a specific problem with the perceived "down by the
head" of your boat, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
BG You could always repaint/relocate your waterline......
Wonder if the fresh water/waste water/fuel tanks are in the same
locations on both boats?
