   You're right about another = front=20 passenger not impacting CG much.  I meant to say rear = pax.   Fuel=20 doesn't change it much. but what change it does have seems to be a bit=20 rearward.
   I just wanted to let you = know that you=20 may have the option to have a battery up front, which, as Brent said, = would=20 eliminate the weight of a lot of heavy cable and deliver a little more = oomph to=20 your starter.
