Can't balance boat :(
Try as I might I cannot get this hull to balance out at 33% Am I missing a trick?!
only way it will is if I have all the radio gear hanging right of the transom[sm=what_smile.gif]

change it to an outboard set-up... jk..33% is not a firm standard of setting COG....post a full length pic of the hull please along with the overall length ,and lets crunch some numbers....[:-]

Cool,
Its 29 (735mm) inches overall length, had been told 33% was good for this hull?! So I put that at 8 3/4 inches (225mm) from the transom forward?!

I reckon the med box is simulating the fuel tank....try locating it on top of the radio box,if that works out,then consider running twin saddle tanks in the sponsons behind the engine....2 8 oz. tanks out to do it,if you go with 10 oz''ers,it might give you a little more room to play with....[8D] you still might have to add ballast to compensate for fuel usage,but it might still keep you in the ballpark...[:-]

Yeah correct, med. box is fuel tank, and duel tanks in the sponson''s behind the engine works an absolute treat. Nice one thanks Bob
