2001 Grand Sport with a fresh 225X built with a Laser intake, Brucato, etc, all by Dave Driefort. Tells me it's probably more like 250-260 HP.
I'm 205 and there's virtually nothing in the starboard side of my boat. On the port side there's a 45 pound battery, 15 pound cooler, and some misc gear, all in the rear compartment.
I bought some 45 pound bags of ballast and I can do the simple math: 205 - 70 = 135. Is it that simple? 3 x 45 = 135. 3 bags of ballast in the port side cubby?
OR is the 70 pounds I count in the rear somehow more or less affecting the weight distribution? The ballast would be pretty close to beside me but the other 70 pounds is in the far left rear.
Any opinions?
