Default 18 fish

I have a 89 18 fisherman with a 89 130hp yammie. She'll do 40mph on flat water. I bought this rig last year, anyone have any opinions on these boats? good or bad

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.

I have an 18 with a Johnson 115 spl. It looks like my performance is inline with everyone else, tops out around 37-38. However, I wouldn't mind repropping it to have give up a mph or 2 uptop for some more low end grunt. Overall I'm very happy with its performance.
