18 foot Seacraft...too heavy

[John R]

Toadfish, you'll want to relocate heavier items up front, move the dual batts up to the front of the console area (less chance they'd get stuffed too). Any other weighty items (especially external livewells) that can go up front would be a plus too like oil tanks etc. Less fat guys in back (like me [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) and those ball scuppers would help too.

The Suzi DF140 would be real sweet performance but it's around the same weight as the merc 200 carb.

toadfish,
If i remember correctly that engine only weighs around 375 pounds. Be carefull about the hp rating. The merc 150 and 200 weighs the same and the new 4 stroke and hpdi models are actually heavier than your engine.
