does my bow look like it's sitting low?

I've looked at other 370AC and they all seem to sit about the same. everything is bone dry

Did they offer that boat with diesels? If they did that is probably why it looks low in bow, it is sitting high in rear. I have a 1990 420 dancer and the majority of these were sold with diesel and my gasser sits kind of bow down/ stern high as well. My exhaust outlets are about 3 inches above water and the diesel versions have the outlet right at water level.

Yes that was an option and knowing that makes me feel so much better. Thanks!

perhaps once I get my swim deck railing/davits installed and hang my dinghy it will level out a little.
 
Next year move the bottom paint line up a bit in the front. Problem solved..:grin:
 
Aft cabins tend to carry a lot of weight around. I guess it is because most owners cruise them long distances and there is so much room they just get loaded up. All that were sold here were diesels and every one of them eventually raised their bottom paint to the bottom of the stripe then restriped the boat.

I have my extended swimplatform and a jetski sitting on rails all the way outback and I still look stern high.
