Love the 18's. How about some more pics of that transom and bracket. Is that a 150? How's the performance?

I'll get some more pics later today. Yes, it's a 150, just rebuilt powerhead so not sure exactly yet what performance specs will be, still doing the break in. But, it ran 47MPH @ 4900RPM spinning a four blade 20 Inch with four people in the boat and a half tank. So I'm assuming better than that with just me in it.

Looks great. If that 4900 rpm was wide open, I wouldn't run it with that prop anymore. To much pitch will kill that motor early. 20" pitch is a lot of prop for a 150 on an 18' cc.

Do you have any pictures of the boat in the water ? I have always read that the 18' is not a good candidate for a transom bracket because of its center of gravity making it squat especially with heavier motors.

wat is the set back on that bracket? about to pull trigger on a bracket myself and put new prosx115 ct on it curious what minimum setback is I could get away with.
