How would you go about fixing a leaning problem when the fat sacs get off center? ------------- Brian |

I don't see the problem. So what if the boat leans a little. I believe I would put up with it!

First of all those compliment your correct craft nicely. You will not likely ever stop those from bouncing around, especially in a moving boat. Just place them how they work best for you and then keep a close eye on them, it will likely be a very "hands-on" process. Make sure you take good care of them, if they are well adjusted and well maintained you will get amazing rides for many years, although you will have to stay on a short rope. Dont forget to rub in a little UV protection now and then. Remember replacing those can get expensive. If you dont want the responsibility I am sure someone on this site would be proud to have them in their boat and care for them properly. Keep'em original. Ahhh fun with metaphors. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |

Instead of 2 big sacs, go with 8 small ones. It gives you more flexbility in placement around the boat. Thats the route Paul went and look how nicely his boat is riding.
