Anyone know where the centroid is on a 06' Superjet?

Modifiying my beach cart and want to make sure the weight of the ski is evenly distributed over both axles. I believe the vessel is 7' 3" long....anyone know how far back the center of gravity is?

Thanks

it's around the back of the engine, somewhere between there and the firewall.

that is where I stand when lifting a ski with someone else.

Your cart carries it sideways?

both axles huh?

That would be a good picture if she would move her hands.

what was the Question?

Lift the front and slide a board/pipe under the ski until it teeters if you really want exact numbers but you have to remember that the CG will vary depending on if it's dry, wet, full or empty fuel, waterlogged foam, etc. etc.

Then again...two axles...does it really matter? I mean it's only 300lbs and as long as it isn't going to fall off of the bunks, what difference does it make if the weight is distributed evenly?

good points and it really doesn't matter but I figured if I'm going to it then might as well do it right.

will post more pictures later this weekend.

Best placement is the one that makes pushing/pulling the ski the easiest. :fing02:

You must be an engineer if you are looking for the centroid and you call your superjet a vessel!

i think it's in the same spot as an 04'.:tomato:
but the BNG's might alter that!
