See how high the bow sits out of the water? Mine is similar. I realize the boat is not loaded, but it would take a lot of weight to get the sharp, keel-like forward portion of the bow into the water. Hard to see the stern in this photo, but the same condition exists, though not as severe. This (at the stern) is where I want to enhance the keel -line so it protrudes further into the water. DC
