Can't find the forum rap about the need for added weight in the bow of 250's to level them "on her lines". I will have the aft weight of a Tohatsu 9.8 (100 lbs), so again, what's the bottom line recommended amount of weight to add in the bow storage locker? Thanks.

I put 3 bags of play sand (150 lbs)in the bow under the v berth slightly off center to compensate for the OB. It also seemed to help it point better. I put the play sand in heavy trash bags just incase the leaked sand.
