Default RE: Dumas SK Daddle 36

Thanks Craig, and Carlos, I'm kind of disappointed because this project will soon be complete and now I need another one!

Regarding the CG, since I restored this boat I did not have the original plans or any plans for that matter. I'm really not too sure where the CG would be. The Skeg is placed mid hull (under the engine) and when the boat is floating, balance seems to be okay not too bow heavy etc. If it's anything like my 1:1 Wellcraft, I can adjust weight after I run it shifting weight around and adjusting as necessary depending on how well the boat performs, turns etc. I guess the proper way to check the CG would be to have the location of where the CG is on the Dumas SK-Daddle and then balance from there. Does anyone have an idea as to where that may be on this boat measuring from the transom forward of course? Thanks for the help and good question.
