Default wieght

hi

keep your total finnished weight under 20lbs ( with fuel tank full )
its best to keep your fuel tank in the center too as it empties you wont lose your side balance

cg is around 13-14 inches from inside of transom to your spark plug

keep it balanced from side to side aswel
depending on your engine( rotates to either left or right) you can counter that by moving parts to the other side too.

hope this helps
drive em like ya stole em
