[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 428920, member: 13599"] personally, I would go 10-12" of water with the boat somewhat level on the trailer. this is another one of those topics that generate opinions in physics, weight formulas, pounds per square foot, floatation formulas - yada yada yada. it is not the space shuttle - it's a [i]BOAT[/i]. after you reach your "water volume target" - let it sit for a few hours. do whatever you think is best to find the leaks, fix them accordingly, and go have fun. jus my Dos Centavos oh, this is also a good time to check the condition of your springs and tires with a heavy load. .
