I'm still here, still have Red but the transom is pretty much shot and she's not safe to take out. I'll be doing a complete rebuild starting in the summer, OR moving up to a 23.

It takes a certain amount of horse power to provide enough forward momentum to lift a planing v-hull out of the water. With the water breaking 2/3's of the way back (indicates hull riding higher,...

I think the t top on my 18 is it's most limiting attribute. In a windy enough situation and caught in a trough, she would broach for sure. An 18 or a 20 with no top, an enclosed transom or splash...

The old omc sst was an entry level stainless prop that works great with the SeaCraft hull. It had a decent amount of cupping on the trailing edge of the blades that provided some stern lift. There's...

I think it would need to be a cc to stand a chance in Florida. That's what the offshore crowd wants.

An 18' SeaCraft will float with the bilge completely full and the scuppers plugged. With that level of inexperience, I say they forgot the drain plug.

Stock omc props have diameter/pitch stamped on the end of the hub. The prop nut washer hides the number. Maybe stock merc props are the same.

Looks great. If that 4900 rpm was wide open, I wouldn't run it with that prop anymore. To much pitch will kill that motor early. 20" pitch is a lot of prop for a 150 on an 18' cc.

Love the 18's. How about some more pics of that transom and bracket. Is that a 150? How's the performance?
