Default 1989 Grady White Sailfish 25'

Just picked up the boat today and noticed that it lists to the starboard when running but seems level at the dock. Any ideas?

use your trim tabs to center/level the boat, if you dont have trim tabs, i think they all do however. then your load is off center..i have the exact same boat but mine are broken right now and my leans to the left also, so i just seat more people on the right hand side until i get them fixed, probably not until the boat comes out in september though :P
i have the same boat, P.m. if i can help you out at all!

That sounds like a combination of uneven weight distribution and/or incorrect use of trim tabs.

I have that same boat and have complete refurbed mine. There isn't much about that boat that I don't know. PM and I'll give you all kinds of advice and answers.
