rick,
the weight distribution is favored on the bow which gave me plenty of tongue weight...was doing 83 mph on the NJ Tpke...no problems[this is probably the fastest this boat will ever go...buhahahaha....nah]. The addition of the motors and fuel should add more weight to the rear thus altering the CG[center of gravity]...hopefully not too much change in CG to allow me to trailer with no fish-tailing.
The winch stand base is all custom work by Rick [last pic in the set].
I ordered the shrink wrap as no one stocks this item in July

Sadly, I'll be going with twin 250s. The reason being that when I do my travels, the marinas may not carry 91 octane fuels...so I need engines that can run on 87 octane. And that could be 250XS. But with SmartCraft. So that if the next owner wants Verado...it would only be engine swaps...the rest of the hardware will work.
