Effect of I/O vs. OB on 25 Seafari CG

[FishStretcher]

A pint is a pound the world around. 40-50 gallons of water forward of the *missing* forward bulkhead would do the job and you can pump it out on the way to a boat ramp to haul out. If you put in a low pickup and had a top vent, you could blow the ballast tank in an emergency for 400 lb of flotation.

Put it way up here:

A rubber bladder tank would eliminate the need for a vent and allow it to be filled and emptied quickly. And would also add flotation if you could figure out a way to pressurize it, maybe with a scuba pony tank!
