If you're in Toronto you can probably wait a year or two before it gets up that far.

It wouldn't be the sea water rising it would be the location as a negative.

Sea level is expected to rise by almost 7 feet by 2100.
Where would that put Okeechobee?
Under water??

According to psk125's logic in post#12 and your supporting post, that will put every small boat in the world underwater (except for those in freshwater lakes)

No.
The boats will float.
The non floating docks and surrounding land will be under water.
Quick.....Buy a boat.

I am confused by your logic and how sea level rises relates to this post

It is a reply to StuM's post that rising water would put all small boats under water.

Hey... this thread is getting crazy.

Please don't cherry pick my words and make it appear that I agreed with what I was actually disputing.

I was pointing out the absurdity of psk125's and your posts #12 and #14 which implied that sea level rise was what caused the OP's vessel to sit lower in the water.

The few inches you mention seem to correlate with this:"

You - Post #14:
"Nope.
Sea levels are rising...."

Since salt ions are heavier than water molecules, seawater is denser than freshwater. The density of seawater ranges from 1020 to 1030 kg/m3 while the density of freshwater is about 1000 kg/m3.

Or it may have to do with the Fat Lady that is singing onboard

To lighten your vessel begin taking down the 99 bottles of beer on the wall and pass them around until they are all gone and everyone has peed ashore.

Thanks guys,
No closer to an answer - although - I loved the one about the sea levels rising!
Were they taking the peese??
I once said the same when we were lowering a car with blocks under the springs 'any lower and the diff will hit the ground --'
With regard to worm, we checked the boat out when purchasing - no sign and again on a recent survey - none - but - would they eat through the hull and let water in - or continue burrowing within the timber?
No increase in water intake so if there is worm - they are not through.
I'm hoping a combination of weed - which due to out Mediterranean climate, we get a lot in summer (UV) but winter - a lot along the water line - with wake from passing boats - drops off. Realise that the keel, rudders and props won't get the same 'splashing' effect and am soon to slip, rebuild motors, paint hull and revarnish kick boards where hard to get to, when boat in water.
OUr sun is a varnish killer!
Am getting on in years - so any volunteers??

It's a powerboat, with hefty fuel tanks. Is diesel heavier based on where the oil well it came from is? OK is perhaps lighter than TX? Saudi Arablian is heavier than Omani? Heavier fuel could make the boat sit lower on its lines. Also note that the boat is in Australia. Perhaps moving the boat to the Northern Hemisphere would fix the problem.

Worms do tend to stay under the surface, honeycombing the wood until there is minimal structure left and it is so weak it collapses from the water pressure. One worm hole could hide 50' of tunnels running back & forth in a plank.
