Is this done with something about the owners weight on the seat, or perhaps the seat is positioned right over the balance point? Would that be getting to fussy and take the fun out of the building?

I ran my boat to see where it rode on plane then put the pipe under that point and tried to get the balance as close to that point that I could.

Depending on the hull length and construction you may not get things where they need to be but closer is better. This is another reason I like a little longer hull.
