Whale in bay

[steplift20]

Destroyer, we didn't see it it just appeared right in front with no time to react the reason I hope the tank shifted is I had the tank replaced about 20 years ago and I never looked how the secured it in place, just assumed they did it right, I can't think of any other reason why she would list to starboard so much I looked at the hull and she looked good we went airborne when we hit the whale so something moved that's the only thing I can think would cause that much of a list, I will keep you posted. I hope it can be fixed I really love that boat

Time to use a video camera and inspect the tank location. Drill a hole in the floor, insert the camera probe and look around. About $67 @ Harbor Freight.

Or, you can drain the tank and then float the boat and see if she still lists. if she does then it's probably not your tank. if all or most of the list is gone then it probably is the tank.

I was thinking the only thing I could think of is the tank, Yerevan is nothing else that I can think of, it was such a beautiful day who the hell thought I would hit a whale Not even five minutes after we launch That really sucked And it makes you think, what if I was going fast chasing blues and that happened Not good

Check and see if your motor is still secured tight to transom. Just throwing ideas out. If your has a belly tank, not more than couple of inches on either side of stringers.
