Starting on my first boat build and I have a few questions before I start getting everything setup.

I need to get some ideas on the CG for the boat. Where do I take measurements from? When I'm mounting the motor, do I figure my CG from the back, the middle, or the mount?

I'll get some pictures up later tonight. Thanks for the help.

I think CG is measured from the rear of the two pontoons end and not the absolute rear of the boat. I dont believe they are called pontoons, but i cant think of the correct term off the top of my head.

Sponson:
the pontoon-like portion of the hull that provides hydrodynamic lift; in the three-point configuration common to current unlimited racing craft one sponson is forward on each side of the main hull
