I think a 235 is probably way too much motor for that boat. Stinkyhooker has a 18' Wellcraft center console. Stink, whatcha think?

Mine will run 38-40ish with my 120 Force (likely way less HP than 120). IMO a 140-150 would be perfect. I have a buddy down here with a 150 OMC on the same boat and his will top out at 55ish but cruises effortlessly at around 3K RPMs. I am going to re power with a V6 when time comes but its certainly not a necessity. A good 120HP is just fine unless you want more speed/power. 235 is just ludicrous. I think Skools might have repowered that boat.




Been missing you folks, sorry. The wife unit and her schooling along with work/honey do's, etc...not alot of net time.


Miss "yall"!!!!!!!!

Hey Stinky!

I seem to remember FERM saying one time that a 235 is like 200 hp at the prop, so its only 50 hp over the limit.

I say if it runs ok, keep it til it quits.

You could always put a 150 hood on it and only use 3/4 throttle.
