18' SF Performance Questions

[otterhound]

I'll get the prop, hub, and plugs tomorrow so the fun will begin. Turns out it had NGK BPZ8HS-10 resisistor plug in it so I have the proper Champions coming. It will be interesting to see if that makes a difference.
My background is mostly sailboats but have owned a number of power boats over the years. Some of them I've only kept for a week they irritated me so badly and I never found one that I really liked until I stumbled onto Seacrafts. I one ride took in my Tracker SF 20 and that was it, I finally found a power boat that I liked lol! This 18 will become my daughter's boat next year and hopefully she hands it down to her kids someday. I then have four more to work my way through, not really sure what I was thinking

Glad you're looking at the spark plugs… that was my initial thought tied to the ignition. I have successfully converted my father to an 18 seacraft from being a lifelong sailor. The 80's tracker boats get little respect, which is fine because it allows for a greater population of newer boats to buy. They are great SC's for the most part.

Its the ride and the sound. A sailboat hull and SeaCraft hull doesn't pound and makes the same sound cutting through the waves...swoosh,swoosh,swoosh
