Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Boat Turns Stern to Wind/Waves

My boat is a 2015 150 Super Sport. In a breeze, the boat turns stern to wind, stern to waves. In the back of this boat, the water is really, really close to coming over the transom, which is low for the motor mounting area.

My theory is the boat is taller in front, catches more wind.

Also, my motor is in the water ... not trimmed up ... does this make a difference?

More importantly, I wanna know why I haven't been swamped from behind yet!! I watch and watch and worry and nothing comes over that transom.

I'm on Lake Erie, and rather prudent about weather. Usually not out in much over two feet.

Tell me a story ... is this normal ... good ... etc?
