Default Listing to port

Greetings all-new member here. I have a 1992 talari 180. It lists to the port side underway and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I move people around to try and adjust the weight but that only helps some. Any ideas why I have a leaner?

    Water?
    Is the drain hole at the gas tank stringer plugged? Sometimes the foam gets saturated under the deck with water. Do you have any soft spots in the floor?
    Just some thoughts.

    Welcome aboard! Larry has pretty much covered the possibilities. The other thing i thought of was storage of items within the boat (battery/xtra fuel etc?). What may also help is a pair of Smart Tabs as they tend to provide some stability at speed as well as their planing benefits.

    ebuyers world has them on sale for $129.99 here. Your boat will take the Smart Tabs SX with the 60lb actuator arms (SX9510-60). Dont believe their buying guide when it tells you to buy the 80lb arms cuz they're too stiff.
