I read through the survey of a 1989 E38 that Ted Reshetiloff posted in an <a href="http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=1743">earlier thread</a>, and was interested to see that the surveyor noted a slight list to starboard. My '88 E38 also has a slight list to starboard, no matter how I adjust stowage, fill or drain tanks, etc. And last summer, in the Gulf Islands, the owner of an E35 out of Vancouver rowed by our boat and told me that his boat also lists slightly to starboard, no matter how the boat is loaded. It was his belief that the bottom of the hull mold was slightly skewed so that when the keels were bolted on, they were slightly out of vertical.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a generic trait on larger Ericsons? Or is this how "urban myths" get started?
