Default Center of Gravity

Does anyone know the center of gravity of a 1999 Maxum 1900SR Bow Rider?

Welcome aboard

Ok I have to ask why do you want to know this?

I would suspect its about 1/3 of the boats length forward from the transom, down the center line and about the desk height.

I want to put it on my boat lift and be sure I have the center of gravity of the boat in the center of the lift.

Not sure it works that way. Cradle of the lift should have supports that support from the transom to the front of the boat.

Putting the CG in the center of the lift will result with the outdrive hitting the rear portion of the cradle.

Is this a sling lift? You want the transom sitting on the bunks on a bunk style lift. However the horizontal support bar will prevent the drive from moving too far forward. The center of gravity would be approx. 1/3 from the stern. It would be impossible to load the boats center of gravity in the center of the lift.

You're thinking too much. Relax.
