First time I have seen this boat on the straps, it was an ordeal to get it on the lift. We could not get the keel to pass over the strap so the bars were lowered to the water, then it took two people with boat poles to hold the strap on the bottom. The documentation says 5' but it seems like a deeper keel.
I also found I have a fresh water system issue. We did not use it much but I did notice that the tank did not seem to hold a lot. I also noticed that the bilge was pretty wet but figured that was due to the amount of ice we put into the icebox. Well, I added 3 gallons of pink antifreeze to the tank, ran it through all the lines, came back the next day and found a pink bilge. I guess we must have a fresh water system leak. The thing is the bottom of the tank is much lower than the intake side of the fresh water pressure pump so I am thinking that the leak has to be either the tank itself (poly tank) or the fitting on the tank. I had just enough time to check the fitting and it seems to be fine. I just can't believe that there could be a leak someplace else that would draw the tank water up, into and through the pressure pump. Does that seem to be a reasonable assumption? I'm trying to limit the areas to troubleshoot.
