Bow high

Hope I've found the right place on the web site for silly questions. New to C-Dory's. Bought mine late last summer from Vancouver, BC and boy is she pretty, shes named "Shrek" (22' cruiser) Question. I know the boats ride bow high but should a third of her length be out of water? (a friend was in the dingy taking pictures)
Thanks, Jim
 
Jim,

We met the former owners of Shrek last summer. Nice folks and the boat's a beauty, in fact a twin of our green 2005 CD. As for the bow riding high, I know there are others on the forum who can explain why C-Dory's bows ride so high. Most people usually add either trim tabs and/or a hydrofoil (we have a Permatrim) to help trim the bow down. I don't remember if Shrek had either of those options. There a lots of posts regarding this.

Hope this helps.

Peter
