Makes great sense and thought that must be part of it.
brings the rotational mass closer to the centerline of the boat and lower, the propulsion closer to the center, and as you know my drive prop shaft is 1.5” above the bottom. (1” with the spacers installed) If we did nothing but move the drives out 4” on the same horizontal plane, they would be at least 1” below the bottom in that relative line.

Look up "ben perfected" i think cg is approx 35% forward of the transom. They had the boat fully fueled, both drivers and picked it up on 1 sling at lake x to determine that.
ben perfected is a 30 panther B class boat that holds a world record of 104, haven't seen sprague on here in a long while.
alot of info on how it was set up with the how and why's.
