Call 804-693-2348. 18 c/c, 90hp Johnson and trlr. Has been advertised awhile in hampton roads VA area. Asking 6K.

90? Thats one slow 18 if thats accurate

Re: 18 SeaCraft
 

That may be underpowered, but it comes off! I may call about it to find out what performance is claimed. We had a 200 on a 70's Seacraft c/c and it looked like it was stressing the transom when "floored". I guess the 18's are as strong if one will stay together with a 200 Mariner?

Re: 18 SeaCraft
 

Checked with seller and the boat runs 32-34 mph at top end.
A marina owner I talked to in FLA nicknamed over powered boats "SinkCrafts" supposedly because jamming scuppers and transom height made them suseptible to filling up when moored carelessly.

Re: 18 SeaCraft
 

Key word is carelessly. But anyway, the 200 was on it when purchased so until it decides to take a rest I will run it. I'm not a speed demon anyway. I get it up on plane and cruise at 3800 RPM. I like comfort Zone. I have a friend with a 130 and he likes it very much. So when this goes thats probably what I'll go with. But a 90 is not enough and Yes the transom is strong.

Re: 18 SeaCraft
 

I had an 18' with a 130 on it and that was plenty for that boat. A 90 may not be exactly a speed demon but it will get you to the fish [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

One other thing - those boats are tailheavy, putting a heavy engine on the back end will guarantee wet feet.
