18SF guys, anyone run a 25" motor?

i have a 1985 18 w/ a newer 150 johnson. i think it weighs 391# dry. i redid the splashwell when i got the boat. it self bails like a charm. dont get me wrong; ive backed down hard and taken some water in, but it drains right out. it sounds like it depends on the year your boat was built...

That 150 set-up is strong. We had an ocean runner 150 that was very fast on the 87 18SF. Just did self-bail from the deck at rest without anyone in the stern, and the engine well drain holes were fine. I will check how close the engine well drains are with the 140 Suzuki. They were filled because the water line was right up to them on the 1987 18SF.

I had a chance to see KeysCruz's 18 with the Etec and bracket last year at our Keys Gathering. Great boat!
