Well, I just had to go out and get a digital postal scale to go with
the new camera and have been trying to gather some information
on my new rigger. Other than the fact that it's about a half pound
heaver than I would like, I came up with some interesting figures.
Any comments would be appreciated. I've got all winter to fix it!
Length of tub: 23-1/4" +another 15/16" to tip of prop
Trailing edge of sponsons from nose: 8-7/8"
CG of boat from nose: 11-1/8"
Weight of boat (less fuel): 48.2 oz. ( 3Lbs/0.2 oz.)
Weight on prop tip when sitting level on trailing edge of sponsons: 8.5 oz.
I also noticed that I could reduce the weight on the prop to 7.6 oz.
by adding 1/4" to the rear of the sponsons.
How do those figures sound to all of you with 12s?
