Dude I have a 200 Merc 2.5 that weighs in at 400 and I cruise at 3400 @28 mph and my scuppers are plugged usually, my top is 50 with a T Top, I'll trade that for 15lbs - all applications are not towing sailboats. My 18 ran well with a 115, sometimes wished I had a bit more but this is in offshore/inshore running conditions, the 130 Yami was a perfect fit ask Danny.
The hull rides better and higher on the hull with more power and therefore takes advantage of the design, its not a semi- displacement hull.
