Ballast anyone?

I know mines an 18 but they suffer the same demise. I have 3 batteries, I moved the two for trolling and all other accessories to under the console and left just the one starting in back....much better in addition to the big ice chest in front of the console.

I have the same problem with my 18'.

I have been planning on making a splashwell so I only have to worry about the deck drains on the sides. I figured with moving my 2 batteries to the console, moving my livewell to the front of the console and making the splashwell I should be good. I just need to by some fiberglass supplies and find some time.

I also believe my floatation foam is water logged which could add some serious weight depending on how bad. I have one soft spot on the floor so I have been planning on pulling it up and replacing the foam or going without foam, not sure yet.

I have a tubal reversal surgery to pay for first and then I can start putting money back into the boat.

I Use Duckbill Scuppers

They do a great job of keeping the water out, but can also be a little slow on letting out of the cockpit at rest. Once you get up towards plan the moving water has no problem getting out.

Over all I like them.
