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
slight listing?

Re: slight listing?
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.

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