Dirk Jan Cozy Well-Known Member Joined Feb 3, 2022 Messages 181 Aug 19, 2022 #2 For a hydro, the cg starting point is 10% of the hull length behind the sponsons. For my interest, what kind of hull do you have? I don't know any kneeler hydro available. Self made maybe?

Dirk Jan Cozy Well-Known Member Joined Feb 3, 2022 Messages 181 Aug 21, 2022 #4 If the hydro is 35" length, the cg should be 3.5" behind the sponson ride pad.
Edward Drock Well-Known Member Joined Nov 2, 2020 Messages 210 Aug 21, 2022 #5 Well that will change everything! That would be 19.3/8" and that's 54% not 10% is that right?
Dirk Jan Cozy Well-Known Member Joined Feb 3, 2022 Messages 181 Aug 22, 2022 #6 Sorry, I don't understand your last comment. I don't know about the hull dimensions other than total length is 35". A Hydro has it's cg quite a lot forward. I say the same in both of my posts Hope you figure it out!
