18SF guys, anyone run a 25" motor?

[Michael Vezzosi]

My brothers 1987 18 SF is running a rebuilt 1995 Johnson 150 25" shaft, with original transom. Original owner, from Hilton Head, states its one of the last Potter built and not a Tracker. Not sure if thats true or not.

Unfortunately, I'm thinking of selling my 1999 Johnson 175 carb, 145 original hours, but 20", so he can't use it. I'm getting closer and closer to having the transom enclosed and bracket installed on my 79 MA, but understand I will need a 25" engine. Vezo, Part II.

How did your MA run with that engine...are self bailing? I too have a 20 MA and am at the point that I'm thinking of what power to hang on the back
Any feedback would be appreciated
