Not sure how the 288 is laid out but my 248 does this to the port side. it is because the hot water heater, batteries, galley with refridgerator, mid berth storage, and cockpit cooler are all on that side. When loaded with food and beer it really leans that way. The only thing on the starboard side is the water tank and the holding tank, which are never near full. When the water tank is full it levels out some but I really only fill it if going out to stay on the hook. My guess is they figured since most of the cockpit seating is on the starboard side, when people are on board it will offset the weight on the port side.



I thought about moving the batteries to the starboard side to help out with this, but that would make them harder to get in and out.
