Outstanding! Great report as well. Nothing like a new-to-you boat. I like the bracket on the back. Makes the boat feel like it is that much longer and helps a ton with top-end. I notice at WOT when I begin to trim up, the boat gets up and really goes. I'm sure you will clean up that transom area and get all your stuff sorted out as well.

Nice going to a bigger boat. I know how nice it is going up in length and weight on the new boat and when I went back on the old boat I wanted off. What I thought was so incredible back in the day was not so great anymore as the bar was lifted.

The transom got pretty good cleaned up today and I have to go get 2 new batterys & Boxes

That transom area will have a new cover with doors put on in the spring made of Starboard.
Also behind one door will be a salt water wash down, and a built in tackle box like Bigbo and I made for the old boat.

Yep this rode so nice that I think I will go out of boating before I down size!

I have a 9.9 hp
I also have a tiller extension.

the 18hp will be more then you need but that's good ...
if the mount can handle it.

It is nice to have a second motor...you never know when stuff happens that second motor could get you out of a jam...
