another uninformed, but possibly slightly more scientific opinion:

it would add 3% to the volume of water you displace, which means that the added depth would be closer to the cube root of 3%.. about 1.5%, although it'll be less than 1.5% since the size(at the waterline) increases as you submerge the boat.

Assuming the above figure of 3% more dense is correct
