18sf repower questions

i notice there isn't much talk of a bracket on 18 footers. is there a reason or are there just not that many around? i've been thinking of doing a hermco and a 150 yamaha, any thoughts out there. btw...not trying to take over the thread but since we're on 18's...

i have a '75 and a '77 18'. both with 20"(duh) transoms

Don't think I'd put one like that with no flotation tank on an 18 (or even a 20!)

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I took a look at vcsjupiter's 18sf with a hermco bracket and I was very impressed. He has a 175 on it and said he has no problems now with the extra flotation. I believe that is an excellent option if you can afford it (unlike me right now)
