Re: 1975 18' rebuild
 

:cool: Your work and your boat look top notch! How did she do? What kind of bugs did you discover if any on the shakedown?

Re: 1975 18' rebuild
 

Your boat looks awsome! Great job! It looks like it sits nicely with the bracket and the 150. How does it ride?

Boat looks great! Where did you purchase the motor from?

Re: 1975 18' rebuild
 

the ride is good. i would say much better than my other 18' with the 120 on the transom. the boat seems much "tighter" now...probly due to the floor being glassed to the hull sides and the liner glassed to the floor. the one piece caps may have helped some as well.

the scupper heighth at rest is perfect with two men in the stern(one in side and me one the bracket at 220lbs). i'm glad i raised the floor :D although i haven't filled my rear livewell, i'm not too concerned as it's only about 12 gallons. the front live well will be the main one at 23 gallons. plus, i'm thinking she'll float a little higher in salt water.

def. will need some trim tabs but i knew that. she seems to have plenty of power...i'll know more after the breakin on the motor.

thanks for the compliments, guys
