Thanks for all the replies everyone this C34 community is great.  Hopefully we can launch in May ( Burnham Harbor, Chicago).  Once in the water I will see what effect counter ballasting has.  If the change is minimal then this slab has to go.  Should be interesting.  Thanks again.

There is a 37" x 11" x 2.5" slab of lead behind the starboard sidewater tank.  I spoke to Catalina Yachts and was assured they did not do this and the PO says it was already there when he purchased the boat.  It must weight over 400 lbs and I cannot imagine what was involved installing it.  I apologize if this has already been addressed but while my searches have resulted in numerous post about "list to port" issues, there is nothing about this much additional weight.  The boat now shows little or no listing yet I am compelled to remove this dead weight.  Has anyone heard of this before?  Comments?  Pics available.
