    that motor is an old pup,,,18.5hp is pushing it because of too much weight on the stern...i think your boat will only handle an 8hp at max...

    Is it called pulling a wheelie? ^^

    I was thinking 5-8 myself...bit too much weight/power in the back for that lil boat.

    You could sell the motor and get a really nice trolling motor and 1-2 batteries I was thinking...


    40-60lb thrust ...
