Re: 225 HP Evinrude on 18 CC
I have the 18 with the Hermco Bracket and Evinrude 175. The Full flotation bracket makes a difference. With the prop I have on it, it will run 50. The boat handles well it gets up on plane fast and has plenty of power. My brother-in-law calls it a Ferrari. I would think twice about putting that large of a motor on your boat. Before I had the work done on the boat it had a 20" transome and with a 150 evinrude, it sat low in the water and always had water coming in the scuppers. I think even with your 25" transome you will have water comming in the back. Just a thought

Re: 225 HP Evinrude on 18 CC
As vcsjupiter was saying, well maybe in another way. As long as you are going forward you will do just fin. Just don’t put it into neutral and forget reverse.
Now lets ask another question could you mount that big of a engine on that small of a boat. Yes the bass boaters do it all the time but the boat was designed to handle it AND to handle it in FLAT water. The money you would save on the engine would be spent on the boat to re design it beyond the manufacturers intention. So the real question is do you want to re design your Boat???
