Thanks for all your comments. I did tap on the toons & they sound hollow. as soon as I can I will do the slosh test. Right now I am greasing the trailer bearings & replacing the front bearings both sides.

would it be a good idea to put a 50-100 lb weight on front right somewhere? Anyone ever done that? Maybe I should fill the front right section of toon with water to help with weight distribution :mrgreen:

don't think I would weight down the other side, especially since the weight of the fuel will vary through consumption. If it does bother you that much might consider spliting the weight an running a tank on either side. Just consider most toon sit lower on the fuel tank side and leave it at that.

I do not have water in my logs. I need to move my console up about 3 ft & that might help:) I did move my battery to right side of deck in rear. Put 3 gal of gas in mower that should lift it a little too. I think I'm just going to have to be a port leaner. Can't put gas on starboard side, that's where the ladder is.

BTW Does the ladder put a lot of drag on speed?

Thanks for your comments.
