Flyingfrizzle is totally right that the handling is slightly different.
Noticed the sliding feeling in a sharp turn, but didn't bother me in the slightest.
Felt really smooth and controlled the whole time.

That's exactly how it's supposed to feel when you go from having the engine mounted too low to the correct height. I messed around with props on the 18 a little. IMO That hull likes a little bow lift and a smaller diameter prop so it can shake it azz around dancing across the waves. Too much stern lift on the 18 will get you wet and make the ride a bit harsh.
