CG on a 40 inch Microburst mono?

[Josh Stollfuss]

I have a used 40 inch Microburst mono that I'm finally getting around to putting together. The boat came to me with all speedmaster hardware, but no motor. Since the motor mount was already installed I didn't change that. But, I'm curious to see if the previous owner installed it correctly. Does anyone have CG info for a 40 inch, (.45 sized) Microburst mono?

Thanks, Josh-

Just checked and the CG on mine is about 11 1/2 " from the transom witout any fuel. I have the tanks set up the same as the Seaducers. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob, I'll check mine this weekend. What are you using for power in your Microburst?

OPS at present, but runs right with everything else.

Nothing wrong with an OPS, they run great. This one of mine is getting an CMB for now, and maybe a MAC if new P/S ever become available again.

The CG on mine ended up at 11". But 30% of the overall length of the 40 inch hull would be 12" so I think I'm in the ball park?

I have a 40" microburst that I converted to electric. My CG is at 11" too. I really like this boat for SAW running.
