I have an 18 and I love it. The 18 runs a little ass heavy so they’re really sensitive to weight. I personally wouldn’t keep a 150 on the stern. I think it’s too much weight. With a bracket I really think it’s too much weight.
My boat has a 90hp 2 stroke that is less than 300 lbs on the stern and I still moved the center console forward about 3 inches and the batteries forward about 10 inches. It now feels like a very balanced, great riding boat. It surprised me how much of a difference moving the console 3” made. They are very sensitive to where the center of gravity is.
