slight listing?

I recently bought a 2007 Leisure medidian tritoon with a 115 Yamaha on the back.
It has been sitting in the water for 1 month.

Looking at the boat it leans to the left about 2 inches.
Could that be a leak in the pontoon or on the left side,
the 34 gas tank is full and the 2 batteries are both on that side too.

Is it the weight distribution ?

I don't see any air bubbles coming up and it doesn't seem to get worse.

I should put it on a trailer but I don't want to get it out of storage again.

Thanks for any help

Assuming a full tank of fuel and that the batteries are around a group 27 size you are looking at give or take 200 lbs of fuel and 120-150lbs of batteries. That's a pretty good chunk of weight all one one side of the boat, but there could be water in the toons making it worse.

Sit at the helm (on the Starboard or "Right" side) and if the list is gone, you have your answer.
