    CG (center of gravity) location for rear tank 203

    Does anyone know where The "CG" is for a rear tank 203? I am trying to assess the weight impact of adding approximate 60 pounds to the transome of 'the Champ' with the dual power poles. With the rear fuel tank in my 203, I would have to think the CG balance point has to be in the cockpit/ seating area. Since people are the bulk of the load I would think they would have that load on the CG point to minimize rear load.

    Just put ten gallons of water on the back deck, that will more than show you what it'll look like.

    Re: (pmgoffjr)

    bet it makes the tongue on the trailer a lot lighter. Just put Bubba up on the front deck and all will be well. You could string a sponsor banner between the 2 poles for additional downforce or would that be wind resistance? Pretty soon even the Ranger boys will be passing you....

    Peace,
