Roll moment

[Caliente]

If my 2000 32' Express has any fault at all its how it acts on the drift. Any chop at all results in serious roll. Has anyone used any aftermarket product to correct roll moment at drift?

hmm, my biggest complaint would be wet feet when bottom fishing....sometimes trolling in 3'+ seas the snap roll can be pretty bad thus forcing you to quarter them and risk pulling baits out of the water....

we have the same problem in our 340 conv. we were thinking of getting a para anchor or sea anchor to keep bow into the wind. has anyone got any other suggestions.

I put www.smartrails.com on the bow and stern and feel it did an excellent job of cutting spray down and getting extra lift on the stern, maybe a little added benefit on stopping the rolling while drifting. The hull is a great head sea boat and like all others, ie Bertram, will roll on the drift. You can't have both.

i went to smartrails.com not sure what your talking about? we were looking at fitting a sea anchor to keep bow into the wind to stop the rolling action. has anyone tried a sea anchor/parachute? if so did it work?
