My folks have the 140 Zuke on their 18SF(420lbs +/-) and I had the 130 Yamaha on my old 18SF. The 18 deck will not drain without ball scuppers with any thing over 400 lbs. If you accept that, then you just work around it, but to have the boat function as intended don't go above the high 300lbs.. The 140 Zuke does fine to get on plane and while running, but requires more thought to dockage, rain, and keeping the plug system working right.
