I am considering purchasing a Grady 208 Adventure, but on a picture that I have of the boat with a 200hp Yamaha and with one person sitting at the steering wheel I noticed that the bottom edge of the starboard scupper is just touching the water and the one on the port side is approx. 1 inch above the water. I am not that familiar with the 208 Adventure but it seems to me like the boat is sitting a little low in the water. If a kicker is added to the port side and one more person, plus 50-60 lbs of cannon balls and other fishing gear, I would think that the scuppers would be totally submerged and possibly some water would leak in on the back.
Is it normal for the 208 Adventure to sit this low in the water?
