HELP:

Q: Does anyone know the center weight point of the TI (distance from kayak bow) when the amas are in the rear stowed position?

I am building ceiling hoist stowage connector / aluminum trailer cradle combo before I get the 2015 TI and need to set the location of a 4'x4' ceiling hoist system which will connect to this cradle.

I believe the balance point is close to the rear aka brace (just forward of it a few inches). I had a jib crane setup to put my TI on my car roof for a while, to lift the boat I ran a sling thru the front and back mirage slots, it seemed to balance well there (my TI at the time I think was a 2011 model, I doubt the balance point has changed). I have no idea how many inches from the bow that would be (you can probably get a pretty accurate number by measuring the picture on the hobie web site, now you know where it is on the boat).
Hope this helps
Bob

EZ to figure out. Ask your dealer to roll one on a section of PVC pipe. Should be rigged the way you want it. Minus batteries and goodies stuffed in the hull.
