Cool! Congratulations on getting her buttoned up and in the water. Back in '02 (dang, that's nearly 20 years ago!) I put one of the original model DF140's on my 18' and I dug up my notes on performance for your reference: "43.8 mph by GPS in flat water/no wind, with a S/S 14x20 Suzuki prop," with 25 gallons of gas two adults and a dog IIRC. At the time another member here strongly recommended I try a14x22 aluminum prop, but I never got around to it. Enjoy the boat!
