One of the appeals of choosing a re-build is that all that work is done, all I need is original locations and weights and I can move everything around and maintain the CG and waterline the designer had in mind. Far be it for me to change a well balanced design 
Also, the fact that this forum exists was a major consideration in choosing a seacraft to rebuild. Without a source like this forum, I would have to do a lot more work
Im getting very excited to use this boat, Im hoping to have it ready for power by May. |
Shine, In my case, a 79 jackshafted diesel that has been converted to a closed transom bracketed outboard) I have no reference to what existed before and where the cg of the boat should be.
My question is how did you design your boat and where did you find the information to arrive at your calculations?
