1997 GTS rides low at bow

[fender5803]

New to me 1997 GTS and it seems to ride low at the bow. Ive tried it with the front storage empty and don't see a difference. I'm wondering if this is common for the model. It is a two or three seater but I ride alone. I see my friends are dry and i'm wet ... not complaining, just wondering.
Thanks,

That's really how all the old Doo's are. If the lake is rough it's like riding a shower LOL! What do your friends ride?

I figured it was just what you say. A 2020 Spark and a big Kawasaki 4 stroke ... also a '90's GTI sometimes

My wife's is a 1996 GTX which is the bigger hull than yours but she still gets wet when the lake is rough. My 1995 XP 800 is seriously a shower when the lake is rough. In the beginning and end of the season when the water is cold and the sun is not as hot it does suck. I don't mind it in the middle of summer, cools you off.
