Hello, I am a new owner of a Tiara F53, and this is our first time owning a Tiara. I have a question that may be a rookie question, but it relates to how the F53 sits in the water. There is a fairly significant (5-7 degree) rise as you move aft forward. I know that most boats sit with the bow higher than the stern, but this boat seems to have a slightly steeper pitch than what I have experienced. I was wondering if this is simply related to the planing hull design, or if other Tiara boats have a similar feel, or both? Thank you for any feedback that you can provide.

How does it look sitting still? Is the boot stripe level with the water line all the way from bow to stern? Also is the fresh water tank full or empty. I know my 50 Open will sit a little bow high if the fuel is full but the water is low.

Thank you for your response. It looks good sitting still. The water line is straight all the way bow to stern. Interesting that you mention water tanks, I didn’t think of that. That are full (150 gallons), and as you know positioned at the stern of the boat. That is 1200+ pounds. The tender is loaded up on the swim platform and that is roughly 400 pounds. Fuel tanks are full.

I think the general design of the Tiara 50 has the boat sitting at a little pitch, but all that weight must have some kind of impact to the pitch.

Thanks

The water tank on my boat a Tiara 50 Open (only 7 built) is a little forward of center. I can always tell if the tank is low as the boat will have a little more tilt to it. If I put the tender on the back it raises even more.
