I just bought a used fishing boat ( 14 ft Tracker with 50 hp Honda)<br /><br />When I took it out for the first time yesterday it had a noticeable dip to starboard. If I put someone in the passenger seat it would level off but I spend a lot of time alone fishing<br /><br />Do I just "live with this " or do I resort to putting gas tank, battery etc on port side ? Any thoughts out there ?

Yes, I'd move the battery and gas tank over. My boat leaned too until I moved the battery over.

You need to provide more info.<br /><br />If it had a list to Port it would be easier to explane.<br /><br />What are the other performance characteristics?
