At inspection should the boat be weighed is it is with water in it as it was pulled out of the water on the cart or then drained before weighing? It would be easy to pull a plug to let water in and replacing the plug when jockeying the boat on the cart to meet minimum weight. I seem to remember that many years ago we were required to drain our boats before weighing in.

Clearly the plugs should be pulled at or before the scale. As an inspector years ago I always required this but today it is often not done. Surprising.

Are there that many cheaters??? Does not sound like a good family sport to teach new ones getting in. Have to cheat to win??? Never liked weights, one more way to complicate a race day. Was great when the 750 mods did away with it. The one that proposed the weights don't run the class anymore. I am just rambling on, my opinion, don't mean anything

Years ago I had an electrical contractor friend who won a trip to Talledaga when Square D sponsored a NASCAR Cup car. The trip included a stay in the pits for the weekend and while talking to the crew chief , I wont name him , he told my friend that everybody cheats a little bit down here , it is just a matter of how far you are willing to massage the rules.
