You’re gonna love that setup man!
I’d go ahead and get some x442’s with a Lynx cut from Shoboat on here. On a break in run with small props we got 57.2 MPH with that exact same setup. Good luck!

How much weight did it take to balance boat. Can you give me a starting point

 

[Jeremyhines]

How do i contact shoboat

 

[Jeremyhines]

Here’s what i got so far.

Follow the instructions on where to set the CG. I was able to do mine without any added weight.

 

[Brandon Atwell]

Yea what Zach said, we haven’t needed weight to balance any of Carl’s boats they usually are right on point after building.
When you add weight for handling concerns, NEVER directly at the front of the boat. The Lynx hates it, we always mount it at about the midpoint of the radio box.

Well i got my boat built and i can tell you its going to need weight i got radio box to the front and its no where near enough its going to need it

 

[Brandon Atwell]

The Lynx should balance out right at the front of the divots on the side, where are you at now?
That’s with full radio gear as well, including battery? If it is a little farther back, like I mentioned any weight you add do it at the center of the radio box. Weight too far forward will give it bad handling characteristics

 

[Jeremyhines]

Measuring 7 5/8 it balances but at 9 it takes weight

I got bad info on balance point first time out. Everybody i talk to acts like it top secret information

Thank you for the help

I will double check my setup in the morning, 8 inches is at most where you want it. I’m 99% certain I’m hovering more around the 7 5/8 number.
With my added weight I may be closer to 8 now. 9 inches is too far forward on the Lynx.

I will check my modified boat in the morning for you to double check CG numbers. I can also get you a ball park on pipe length, we run in Florida also so setup should be comparable.
