I too have a '76 eighteen, and yeah, drainage is pretty much the only gripe. Mine is the LOW cut (20') transom, and I have a Suzuki 140 that weighs in around 410 lbs., so I'm only sporting a few...

I'm happy with the hole shot, using a s/s 14x20 wheel. When I ran an 18x20 the hole shot was outrageous/awesome, but WOT pulled too many revs (and top end suffered). Suggest you...

Re: HP on a 20ft CC
I've run a Suzuki DF140 on my 18 footer for almost a year (100+ hours, Florida and Virgin Islands), and the son of a gun has yet to hiccup ONCE. Runs like a scalded dog, sips fuel (just under 5...
