20' SeaCraft heavy motor

Offshore Asset & mike c-

You both asked similar questions with respect to engine weight & moving things around to compensate. With all the discussions about heavy 4 strokes particularly on brackets, I put together a quick tool to use as an estimator. See my post, Capt Terry, of 9-24-16 on Estimating CG Shift with Heavy Engines. Be sure to open the attachment for an example calculation. This puts a little science to the quesswork. Also see Bushwacker's related post of 9-25-16, as well as some others. If the tool helps you, great; if you don't like it you will have wasted little time. Good luck.
