Rick,
The TSIO 500 is heavier than my
engine. I didn't know which one you were using. Have you picked a
prop yet? A composite over a metal one has a big impact on the CG.
That's what Ed Rosiak used on his turbo ES.
You're right about another front
passenger not impacting CG much. I meant to say rear pax. Fuel
doesn't change it much. but what change it does have seems to be a bit
rearward.
I just wanted to let you know that you
may have the option to have a battery up front, which, as Brent said, would
eliminate the weight of a lot of heavy cable and deliver a little more oomph to
your starter.

P.S. I have a B&C starter and LOVE
it. It's light weight and cranks the engine much faster than a standard
starter does.
