fuel tank aft but a full water tank, an anchor, a windlass and 40
ft of chain, plus other "stuff" forward. I tried to level it with 150 pounds
of lead bricks (from old tire weights) under the cabin sole in the way
of the head and got hardly any noticeable effect, so it is probably <U>not</U>
the different engine.
<BR> George is probably right about the cast iron keel.
