I'm about half way through building an ML 171 gas scale hull. I'm hearing some folks are having issues getting the CG to 1.5" to 2" behind the sponson rears. I'm wondering where builders are setting their engines? Are you guys leaving the manual starter on the engine or opting for a geezer pulley? Are you staying behind the solid bulkhead (#7??) with motor placement? Adding weight to the tips? Any reinforcing of the hulls? Where do most of the builds weigh in at? I see on the vids that the boats seem to run and steer well. It's a beautiful kit that I'd like to get right. We are trying to get a class going up here in Canada District 1 and there are four more boats being built. All Ml kits, three extreme builds, one 8255 and my 171.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dave.
