: I wouldn't mind some input from those with a keen eye for trim.

: below is a picture of the boat in the pool with me sitting in it in
: three different positions relative to its length.

: which looks best for boat trim? top middle or bottom pic????

: The next post relates to the skeg I am making.

Hi Et,

I like mine to sit about like the bottom picture.
If you take into account you will add a skeg, tracking should not be an issue. With the slightly forward position maneuverability will improve and then deploy the skeg to increase tracking as needed.
Oh by the way she looks awesome!
