Center of Gravity

[Blenderhead]

Does anyone know the approximate center of gravity for a Yamaha 21' twin engine boat? More specifically the 2017 212x.

I would like to ensure that I am properly centering the boat on my lift....or at least close.

Thanks

@Blenderhead on my lift, I just make sure the engines are sitting on a bunk (vs extending over the bunk). The weight of the 2 engines are around 320-340 lbs, so I feel more comfortable having this weight on top of the bunks. In 5 years, I've never had a problem with weight distribution or the lift operation.

Thanks! I have been typically lining up the area that separates the upper swim deck and the passenger area with the rear lift frame. This (as you recommended) places the engine compartments squarely on the rear of the bunks and was my guesstimate as the best way to properly balance the boat on the lift.

Thanks again for the insight.
