Default Re: How Much Power?

I have an 18 cc that is powered by a Yamaha 150. The power is great but I have always felt it might be too much weight. This is my first Seacraft so I'm not used to the lower water line in the back. With the 150 there is only 3-4 inches from the transom where the engine mounts to the water. If I don't plug the scup drains the back starts to fill with water. Any other 18 or 20' owners have any thoughts? Is this water line normal for the older seacrafts or do I have too much weight with the 150 hp ? I have been thinking about raising the floor level to solve the problem. Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks
