500# change in hardware (rough guess)
=3.6%

I guess that number is bigger than I thought, but still, will it upset the boat?
ALL apache 41s are wéll set up race boats!, but some do have a couch below deck for banging skanks between races

^^^ THIS ^^^

How about different layups, cabin vs no cabin, ballast tanks, etc...

Yes, I meant to mention the relationship of the drive package COG to the boat COG (whole package), this would make a difference. I think we are splitting hairs here.

They would be included under the big bang theory, and as such would be fair game. It's all documented in the Apache manual.

The guy that owns the Canadian boat has had it a long time and did a complete refit in 2009/2010. He spent a lot of money and hardly uses the boat. If it has 20 hours on it since the refit it would surprise me. The drives might have 50 hours on them if that. I arranged for him to buy the drives awhile back when I worked at the Black & Blue company. know he had it surveyed back in 2010 and was valued at about double what he is asking. have not seen it run in a few years but ran good before the refit which I think was a SBS and now it is staggered.
