A parting shot of your beloved 18 at Anclote.

Ken-You the man! Thank you. We can arrange that dollar exchange :D. I like that shot you posted. Heck of a pocket battle wagon-that 18 is. I am working on the 23 today. I am now in full ahead mode on the 23

Danny,

Are you keeping the twin 225 Merc setup for the 23'?

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Peter-Currently yes. I am pretty confident that, with the excess power managed properly, those motors will be reving pretty low and be as efficient as possible (can't use the word efficient and merc 225 carbed 2 stroke in the same sentence). The weight is less of a concern knowing that 445lbsX2 motors is not really out of line. I see the new SC25's with 225 optis in their ads all the time. I will be playing with those jack plate heights to see the best spot for running. I have been watching your adjustment process with motor height variation. The motors may get new 200hp decals :D

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
