Great sunset Fred! I have made a few posts over the last year about the 80's 18 console placement. First of all the 80's 18's have a different console then your Potter 18 (as you know). The 80's console was moved close to a foot forward from where yours is located. I believe this was done to correct the stern weight issue as you discussed. Red18 has your boat (Potter Era) and knows that config.. Good idea to keep it there and you may even improve the CG by pushing forward like all the 80's 18s have done. The boat is looking good. Great weight choice with the 125 Merc. and the extension leg.
