I think each boat of the same model would level out differently in the water. With that in mind, does this look normal height?
Main fuel tank is empty, only a cooler with about 1 gallon of water and a six gallon fuel tank sitting on deck at the Stern.

The static trim on your 1998 Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 17 looks normal to me.
To evaluate the static trim, I use these criteria:
--the drains that empty the engine splash well to the sea should not be submerged;
--the overall trim should be bow-high
--the spray deflector at the bow should be above the waterline at the stem

Appears ok but the photos are taken with the boat too far away to really see.

Getting too much, water thru the side scuppers? I just plugged mine from inside.

It looks low to me, l took some pics of my 17 justice with a 150 verado, which is heavier than yours and 20 gallons of fuel, and it's not that low . Also my motor well drains are nearly submerged when boat is at rest. Send your e-mail address and I can send you pics.
