Sitting Low?

[egleas84]

Is my Stingray sitting low to you guys? I've only had this boat out 3 times and my last one was a lot higher up. I've had it tilted all the way up in the garage and there isn't water coming out. Maybe I'm just paranoid; I've had issues with hole shot bog but I think I've got it narrowed to dirty carb jets and the wrong prop pitch.

Looks pretty normal to me. My old boat had the max rated power on it and also sat kinda low http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/Boat Project/DSCF0170.jpg

Looks fine to me as well. Maybe you're carrying more fuel this time than you did last time.

Your trees need some leaves bro....that's depressing. Lol.

All the trees around Wisconsin have the depressing look in April. Should be nicer next month.


I'm hauling 5 more gallons than my last boat; not to metion the heavier Mercruiser. I was starting to worry my flotation foam maybe soaked... but if it's not sitting 'low' in the water then it probably isn't or at least not badly.

Re: Sitting Low?

I think your just in lite water, as the summer gets closer the water should get heavier and your boat will ride higher in the water......



Dude at least your on the water!!

NO WAY!!!! You have to be pranking me (looks around for cameras)...... then again if it is true that means that I will also plane better when its warmer!

Darnit; I'm an IT guy not a physicist!

I'm just glad I questioned it! I could never post on this form again if I fed into that one

Re: Sitting Low?

I was gonna say the OP's boat looked fine, but after seeing woosterken's boat I'm not so sure. Of course each boat's different...

To the OP, do you have an old scumline on the side that you can compare against the current draft?

They're different boats - you can't compare them.

Re: Sitting Low?

Yeah. A trihull versus a deep V isn't too good of a comparison (no offense). if it was the same stingray i'd be worried!

No scum lines; I keep her clean!
