Another data point proving why "light is right" on the very efficient 18/20' SeaCraft hulls! Maybe someday folks will finally start to believe us old timers that actually ran these boats with 300 lb motors back in the 70's! My experience is that the poor balance with heavy 150-200 hp motors really hurts the amazing ride, load carrying and 12 mph planing capabilities that these boats were famous for back in the day!
