Boat Stability

Hi everyone! Had a question about the stability of my 26' 1973 Livsay. The deck has been raised 8" to 12". It has 2 fuel tanks that run along the port and starboard sides. When anchored up or just drifting the boat seems very tippy. Not very familiar with the original fuel tank positions but would the combo of the raised stern deck and the fuel tanks add to this problem? Thanks for your help.

 

Yes, quite possibly.

Do you have any pictures?

Yes Tom I have lots of pictures. I sent you an email. Thanks a bunch.

 

Sorry dlp, I don't do email with strangers.

BUT, if you post them here on the forum you'll get way more input from lots of different people with differing opinions...

I have 7 pictures loaded in to this site. It only allows less then 5 mb of picture data. I will delete and try to reload better pictures.

 

Tom not sure how I can attach these pictures loaded from my last posts in Feb. and March. If you look back at my posts the pictures are attached. If you can let me know how to remove pictures and upload more i would be in more debt. Thanks

 

Sorry - added the photos to your post above; a little bit of jpeg compression takes the file size right down; also the upload limit automatically increases when you hit 5 posts.

 

Ty Jeff for the help with the pictures.
