: My Cirrus also balances at about sta. 8.5 +or-. To carry it with two hands, I
: grab the forward edge and middle of the coaming and the balance is just
: about right. Being bow heavy is just fine for me because when I get my
: butt into the boat it floats just right.

Thanks for the note Brownie. After posting that question yesterday it occured to me that hopefully the boat is designed this way and things will balance out once you are sitting in the boat.

Is your CG up to 6" forward of Station 8.5 like mine?
