[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 125117, member: 1776"] Hypothetically, If my boat is perfectly balanced side to side - say center console, gas tanks, batteries, etc. all right on the centerline - what effect will the prop have on tilting the boat to one side or the other? Will it tilt to the left side (sorry, I don't know my starboard from whatever terms)? Or will it not make a difference? Seems like it would cause some tilting. If you know the answer to that question, how much weight would I need on the other side (about 3 feet off centerline) to offset this tilt? or is there another way to offset it? (I have a 50HP on a 16 foot V style boat) I'm planning the boat layout now for my rebuild and just trying to get mostly equal weight on both sides and still be adapable for solo trips vs trips with a friend. I have a side console boat now. With me alone, I'd fill the livewell on the other side and it ran real nice. The plan now is to move the livewell to be across the centerline and a few feet farther forward. Will [/QUOTE]
