41" areomarine sprint cat cg (center of gravity)???
Anyone have a good starting point for my 42" .80 twin turbine Sprint Cats CG? Aeromarine's drawings don't show this boats recommended CG. I'm thinking around 26% aft. Is there a "standard" CG for sprint & offshore cats?

Not sure about the 41'', but on my 34'' aeromarine spritcat (same hull design I believe) 32% off the transom was where I wound up after tuning. That c.o.g. worked well into the mid 60s mph.
I'd also like to know if stays the same for larger cats as I'm in the proccess of building a 43'' aeromarine cat.
