MY Boat is FUDGED

[Sully]

What the FUDGE!!!

OK just finished putting on a second swim platform on back
I am all lined up out on the back out side
Drilled my hole for the through bolt up top
Went in side and saw it’s an INCH OUT!
So I started measuring and the inside “top” of the boat. ITS cockeyed by an Inch!
Dos any on have this on there 2120SC MINE is a 2003
What the fudge!!

Looks to me like you shouldda measured down from rubrail at 2 points (L and R) sides of platform....or factory platform is lined up level, not even w/rubrail. When yer boat's in the water, looks like your install will be outta water on left and even with water on right.

I did messure down from rub rail and checked the rud rail messurment
By messuring up from bottom "It checked"
Then I messured across to hole from left to right 93/4 on both sides
The messurments are dead on
Thats why I messured inside and found messuring from the deck up and from seat up
The right side slopes up all away around till the max of 7/8 inch near moter

First thanks for your input
Want make sure everyone knows Im not Hot headed about talking about this :lol:

If I understand your question
The messurments from the rail to the swim platforms are dead nuts 18 3/4
And I leveled them and used a framing square to square them up to them selves

I didnt measure the gunnels or transom height but when I was putting in my dive tank rack i was trying to find the center and there was nothing equal on my boat. Bulkheads were different. even the rear battery access was moved to one side. So i did it by eye. If you really want to go crazy start measuring inside the cabin. The whole thing is bigger on the right side. I wonder if those boats list a little to one side so they try to compensate for what your eye actually sees.

REPLY FROM "PARKER"
:? It is what it IS :?

Mr. Sullivan,

What is being revealed to you is one and possibly two different causes for your measurements being different. The greatest difference is revealed due to the way we slope the cockpit sole for drainage purposes. Generally we have about 3/4" of drop to facilitate the evacuation of water initially to one side of the boat. This provides the impedance of water by just one jump seat. In addition, measuring from the inside of the boat most times shows very small differences due to the lay-up of material in corners and the different radius points around the boat.




Thank You,

Hmmm! Now I know why water always puddles starboard side in front of the stern locker. Thought it was because of me standing at the wheel when loading on the trailer, but I noticed same when i floated the boat on. Measuring from ground to hull on both sides finds both pretty even. Have to check again when I PU boat.

Ha ha what were you expecting for an answer?
