18' Superfisherman performance

[Snookerd]

Fr. Frank-I have owned an 87 (150 Johnson and 140 Zuke),88 (130 Yamaha), and 89 18SF(130 Yamaha). I had the 89 when I met you at the Anclote gathering.

Your 88 with the 140 Suzuki is doable. My parents 87 currently has a 140 Suzuki on it. It is too heavy on the 87. But.....the 88 is a Tracker with a different and lighter layup schedule of fiberglass and it can better handle it. At best, it will be borderline self bailing. I would recommend a 90 -115. There are some very light motors from etec to Yamaha's new 25" 115B at 386lbs. After seeing Terry's mighty 90 Etec, I would lean that way for the lowest weight.
