New engine selection for new hull

[ssobol]

Just thinking of things that I would change on my 22 if I had the chance. Since you're extending a 22 there might some of the same issues.

Yes, you have more buoyancy because of the bracket, but you also moved the batteries' moment arm is larger.

In my 22 I am planning to move the water tank to the front v-berth compartment (as soon as I can find a suitable tank). Even if we don't use the water for drinking it will be good for balance. I find that with my standard load I usually run with the trim tabs about 2/3 to 3/4 extended (with the engine trim all the way in). When fully loaded they need to be pretty much full down to get the bow where I want it. (Yes, a Permatrim should help, but I haven't got one yet.)

It's your boat and your NA (who knows better than me), so it's up to you. I was just making a suggestion.

And I appreciate it. Thanks.
