Being a pilot, Moesly understood the importance of CG location and it's effect on performance better than most folks. He generally installed the fuel tank right on the boat's CG (at least he did on my Seafari), so the boat's trim wouldn't change as you burn off fuel. If you assume that the boat's original CG (with a 300 lb motor) was about where the center of the fuel tank was, I think you would be in the ball park, at least for a starting point.
