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. 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
during the bimini race Dave and I had a saying, "beer is ballast" and the cooler had some in it

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.


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.
