That's the mystery, at this point. What has changed? Nothing unusual as far as I can tell. I did see a post (on Cruiser's Forum) about a saturated rudder possible causing a boat to squat. Possible fix is to drill 1/8 hole in bottom of rudder (or in keel?) and see if water drains. It seems that it would take a lot of water in the rudder to cause squat.

In any case, I'll give that a try at the end of the season when the boat is on its cradle.

Meanwhile, I can run at 4 mph without too much stern dipping down.

Thanks for the reply!

My boat powers on it's lines. If your exhaust port is in the same position on the stern - that is a lot of stern in the water.
Something must have changed
I don't want to sound stupid but - Bilge is empty of water?
Did you add or move anything - something changed
