All of the 18 Fishermans that I know of come with a 20" transom. Imagine a V-20 but 2' shorter, built like a tank. Heavy for an 18' boat, does well in rough water for its size.

How does yours run with a 130? Are they good on gas?

With the new t-top I hit 38mph the other day, but neither wind nor current were in my favor. Before the t-top I maxed out at 42mph. Ideally, I would want a 150, which is their maximum HP rating.

I have never actually measured the MPG so I can't give you an accurate answer about my fuel economy.
