Spent a lot of time on a friends 18 with a V6 'rude 200; console was in stock location.
Super fast on calm water but he really had to work on balancing loads to plane at lower speeds. Great in surprisingly large seas but had to really work the throttle.
It barely self baled at the dock.
He always wished he had taken the time to move console and other weight forward. If he had, he probably would still have the 18 instead of selling it then losing a 31 bert in a hurricane.
