Awesome replies this is good stuff guys and thank you. I think you said what I am inclined to agree with but also concerns me some about the "right" way to go. My 18SF had an older Suzi 140 with a new powerhead and I dealt with the corrosion issues you bring up. The ETEC scares the crap out of me and I would love to base the build around a digital Yamaha 200. That's 489 lbs or 56 lbs more than the ETEC hanging on the transom, we think that is ok? Now raising the deck - I'm all for being dry and fixing the scupper mess once and for all but F R E E B O A R D!! I'm coming from a 24 McKee that had that in spades. Stock deck height freeboard in the 18SF was marginal, raising deck makes it worse. And YES - I will pay for quality work because I want it done right but if the price escalates too high it is tempting to just factory order a new Jones Brothers 20 Cape Fisherman. It's the only new boat that interests me - a spiritual successor to the Potter SeaCrafts
