My ice chest is on the starboard side inside the cabin. It usually weighs around 20 lbs. I didn't think 20 lbs would make that much of a difference on a 38 foot boat that weighs 12000lbs.
It sounds to me like you should be running more tab at cruise speeds anyway. I run mine near parallel with the bottom at cruise and have to run my starboard about a 1/2 to 1 mark lower.

Thanks everyone for the input. It seems this is normal. I am about 50lbs more than my wife, plus an ice chest on my side. It totals to about 70-90lbs more on the starboard. I'll fill up my water tank on the Port Side, as it is empty. Maybe I'll let my wife drive? HA HA!
