Tom...beautiful build....
And the second picture...is that what I think it is in front of the radio box.....a ballast bottle...
 
Looks good. I try to stay away from small hard rods when checking my C/G. When checking your C/G on a rod, you have a few pounds of weight sitting on a very small and sharp edge (your sponson) and if you are not super careful it can chip your edges. I prefer to use large wooden dowels such as 5/8 to 3/4 diameter (Lowes or Home Depot). You can still chip the edges but not quite as easily. 7-1/4 is a great base line C/G for stock 3.5 engines on a Lynx. You may tweak that slightly after running it but probably not by much. One more thing, I would turn those tanks around so that you can keep your fuel lines as short as possible. Reconfigure your pickup lines to pull fuel out of the lower-rear-port side of your tanks.

Tom. Its looking awesome!!! Thanks again for your support of Novarossi Marine USA!!! Keep us updated on how it goes. Carl had some great points above. Good luck.
 
Finally after 2 months of dealing with a blown up compressor, lost paint shipment, and crappy weather. I was able to spray the 1st base-coat color on today. After this coat cures I pull the tape and lay out the strips then apply the graphic's and then Clear coat. My old eye's wont have any trouble seeing this puppy in all the roster-tails. Ever notice that the only fly in the shop is attracted to wet paint luckily he didn't land

Looks not quit so blinding with the tape pulled so there a little contrast strips and decals will also help
