74’ Seacraft 23 CC Rebuild

[kmoose]

Having a base CG is a great starting point but you have to carefully consider all weight that will be in the boat and to compensate appropriately. The CG on a 23' boat can change drastically with things as simple as an extra person, cooler, ice, gear, livewell (empty/full) and fuel level at any given time. These factors need to be considered into the equation.

On almost all CC rebuilds the boat ends up bow lite and has to be addressed post build. I would push fuel as far foreword as possible and put the fishbox up in front of the console. Nobody is going to riding up front on a CC unless it is dead flat so count on that weight as well.

You should also consider what Don has suggested and go with a big single. Less weight, cost, less drag, 1/2 the maintenance and better performance per pony. If you are dead set on twins you should be planning on moving the whole console forward.
