Has anyone ever been able to put 6 adults in a Saratoga without exceeding
the aft CG?
So far, every time I run the numbers with two adults in the aft two
seats, I
exceed the aft CG.

It depends on just how big your adults are.
If you are talking about overweight males, the answer is no. You will
probably get five, but be sure to calculate a landing CG to assure that
the CG has not gone aft of limits for landing. If you are taking
baggage, you can play with who sits in the center row of seats and
baggage in the nose compartment to shift things forward.

Does anyone have an electronic weight and balance for PA-32 ?

CoPilot flight planner for the Palm PDA has a customizable W&B you can
apply to any A/C.

The graphical display will show ramp, take off, landing, and no fuel for
a flight.
