We ran an 18' with an 89' 115 Merc for a long time. I thought it was a great match as you can only go so fast in real world conditions. Easy on fuel too. If I was ever going to downsize I'd love to have her back.

We got mid 30's as I can recall. We actually fished that boat offshore on nice days. I remember the day I installed a loran on it and went to the Jackspot off OC MD and caught 3 small bluefin's and about 30 chopper blues with one buddy. We had many a goo feeshin trip on that boat.

Turns out a guy I know has an 18 with a 200 merc turning a 14 1/2 X 23" prop. He says he thinks it probably does high fifties maybe sixty, but his T-top acts like a kite and it starts to chine walk like crazy.
