brunboat

Hi All, Thanks for the comments. While I realise that boats rock (both before and after the purchase) I do think the lean and rocking is more significant than it should be. We have spoken to the guys who are based at the canal responsible for lifting the bridges and they agree that it is more significant than normal. The rockiness is something myself nor my partner are concerned about adjusting to but I was hoping there was a way to reduce it so it would be less noticeable for customers. I think lowering the centre of gravity would help a lot. Is this possible? Alternatively what is the best way to level things up on the opposite side? They guys who help around the canal suggested "traffic cones" at the other side to temper it. We would preferably not want to have the weighting above the floor. There also isn't any space to store anything else above the floor on the opposite side. Is it possible to hang this on the other side of the boat on the outside?

Hello, We recently purchased a 39ft canal boat to open as a cafe. The boat rocks left and right depending what side we are standing at. This happens in particular to the docked side where there is a lot of equipment installed. We do not believe that there is sufficient weight on the boat to keep it weighed down as I think it is sitting quite high in the water. The one problem I think we might have is that we recently laid new wooden floor and therefore cannot lay a ballast down underneath the floor. Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution to reduce the rockiness of the boat while moving around in it? Sorry for the poor terminology (first boat). Thanks!
