Just as the title asks. I have a Manship 34 III with the 200 Perkins. Anyone with one of these (Any of the early 34s) ever add ballast? I've been reading about how adding weigh in the keel can sometimes make the snap roll worse, but I really think it would help keep my boat more stable by reducing the initial roll amount. My boat feels "light" when going at really low speeds. I think some added mass right in the bow would help to reduce some of the pitching, but I'd really like to address the roll's severity and speed. I would love a set of paravanes but have not seen any on a 34 MS so I was considering adding weight. What do others use and where do you source it? Concrete was a popular material on the commercial shrimp boats I grew up with.
