I have seen an 01 or 02 46 with the same issue. Starboard side was about 1 1/2 lower. Completely obvious from looking at the back of the boat. I couldn't believe it left the factory that way

Don't take this as the gospel but for some reason I remember Sunsation used to slightly offset the X on their 32 Dominators on purpose.

So you've been to the South Shore Boat Club that is actually located on the North shore of the river?!

Scary huh? I used to ride my bike down there with my fishing rod and BB gun tied to the center bar. I'd throw my line in, and and then shoot at pigeons and rats.

Just like growing up in Mayberry!

My son always says, "everything you did as a kid that was fun, is illegal now".

Sporting a family truckster 2004 Chaparral 260 SSi. I have a slip and lift at Clinton Marina right now so I don't get to the river as much as I used to. Still, I try to get there a couple times a year. I'll keep an eye out for your boat next year. It will be easy to spot. Beautiful boat! I can't ever recall seeing a Top Gun on the river.
