Irish built Aquador 26HT - list to starboard

[shacklemecleat]

I have just bought a 1999 Aquador 26HT, one of the last built in Ireland, which has slight list to starboard. Just wanted to share info from MGM ( Aquador agents UK) that ' the Irish-built Aquador 26s had lists to starboard' and that there is nothing to worry about. Has anybody else added ballast to compensate? If I end up adding ballast I will add detail to this post

Different boat entirely but mine had a list due to a genny being removed and the starboard tank is significantly bigger than the port tank (each isolated) which serviced the genny and so with the result as the tanks emptied the boat would take on a list.
I fitted a Sumo Sac as used by wakeboarders with a remote pump. Problem solved with "negative" ballast. Might help you.

Thank you Bruce - very useful information. My challenge? - all my bilge space is on the starboard side rather than to port which is where I would need to site a Sac! Appreciate your post

Seriously,the weight of glass in my refreshment cabinet and tinned stuff in a sideboard gave my boat a distinct port list.

The Irish built Aquadors didn't have the best reputation... just hear-say, I don't have any concrete evidence.

Could it be equipment moved etc?
