Indeed the water ballasting *only* has positive righting
moment
if the
boat is pushed over to where the centerline is above the
waterline (a
fair way!).

Bzzzzzzt! You are wrong Dave.

Nice evidence.

This is ASA, no evidence necassary.

PS: if yer don't believe me, fill a milk carton with water
and
play with
it in the bath

A scientific study if ever there was one.

It sure *is*.

Take a 5 gallon jerry jug, put 5 gallons of water in it. Will it
float? Take that same 5 g. jug and put the same weight ( approx.
40 lbs.) in of lead. Will it float? Which floats higher?
Conclude which is heavier? Make sure you wash behind your ears.

Scotty

Can you sink a 'positive buoyancy' boat with water? Can you sink it with
lead? You've proven my own point.
