I didn't think that a 12 pack of beer, 2 bags of ice, a gallon of vodka, 2 two letters of 7up and 2 two letters of Coke, chips and dip on the starboard side in the ice chest would make that much of a differance. Sounds like I have a problem. Maybe I would convert the table into another ice chest.:drink: No wonder why my boat leans. You would think Cigarette would have taken the ice chest thing into considertion when designing it. So, if you see a Cigarette leaning to starboard when not moving, it means the owner stocked his boat properly for the day.

lol, i meant in addition too, if he is standing at the helm, full cooler with ice. mine holds 2- 20lb bags of ice 4 cases of miller lite 18 oz plastic bottles at 16 bottles per case@ say 9 lbs per case, half gallon of grey goose or 3 olives at say 8 lbs not to mention 12 sodas, 12 waters at 5 lbs each
20+20+36+8+5+5= 94 rough figures take 10 off just for giggles, even at 84.

not totally impossible, would it be the main cause, no but can make a diff :D
during the bimini race Dave and I had a saying, "beer is ballast" and the cooler had some in it :evilb:

stocked properly!

normal problem for a lot of 94-96

Just a little fun.
After the beer is gone it is ballast that you can move as needed.:evilb:


My old boat a 35 Mistress had this problem and it took forever to find the problem.
Whan I started measuring for new headers I found the problem.

And what was the problem???

Slightly different X dimension.
Less HP on one engine that the other.
props turning out for transom lift - the low side engine has less HP. Props turning in - the low side has more HP

Have you put a straight edge on the running surface and the strakes?

Thanks D got ya

I haven't seen a response suggesting drive trim position. It's natural to want to use tab to level the boat, but is it possible the drives aren't trimmed quite the same. I know after trimming my drives in and out a few times on the common switch that they would be off a little. I used a tab adjustment without thinking and the tab adjustment simply counteracted the drive trim misalignment. Had I just equalized drive trim the boat would have leveled.
