Boat Builder Central

Thanks Tom ! Sorry for the delay, work is crazy (a good thing) I believe my COG is slightly aft of design, I have a double console and although did my best during the build to follow the great advice on this forum, do not have a lot of options due to built in fuel tank etc. For length of waterline, ...
