Jason--in reference to chain in the anchor locker, I have limited myself to only 50 feet of chain and then all rode to minimize the weight in the bow. Water on the back deck flows aft with the dinghy up or down. My dinghy is a hard shell 9 foot Sorenson with a 15 hp Merc that is carried on davits off the back of the swim platform and is on its side when totally out of the water. Probably 180-200 lbs all told. This does affect the attitude of the boat some. But I still have to trim some to get on plane (which does not happen much any more with fuel priced as it is.

jason, you might look at how much chain anchor rode you have in the locker. That can add a lot of weight at the bow. The dingy should not effect the trim on the boat. Uni's are designed to drain all water aft and to the scuppers. Also I'm sure you have noticed that a dink forward disables the use of the forward hatch. 38' uni sport fisher On Jan 16, 7:30 pm, Jason <[email protected]> wrote: > My 34’ SS seems to sit an inch or two low in the bow.
