18.6 SC

. . .I want white...do you think they offer it in White?

Tom can make any color you want. If you have an Awlgrip or Interlux color name, he'll have the formula for it. Told him I wanted a shade of green to match my Sunbrella bimini (Aquamarine). Found out that he already had the formulas for all the Sunbrella colors! I took him a gel coated plug I had cut out for an access hatch, and he came up with a perfect match, which I used on the sides of the steps and between the bootstripe and the bottom paint. I think he named it "Denny White"!

OK.. a new question? May not go with the old 200 merc and do the rebuild. I'm looking at a very low hour 2004 Saltwater series Carburated 200 merc. This motor has a 25 inch shaft? Is this what I want for a 18.6 CC SC?

Measure from transom cutout to bottom of keel. If it's 25", you can use the newer motor, but I'll bet it's 20". If it's a 20" cutout, you'll have to raise it to 25" for the newer motor.

Congratulations on your purchase! There's a fair amount of 18 conversations here. Just don't add any more weight than you have to. Hope you enjoy her. I do mine!

Falcon - I ran my 18 this year with a 2.0L 150 merc and a 2.4L 175 merc. A 35mph cruise is nice (with the 175), but when you get over 2ft chop you have to slow down to 22/23mph. Around here the wind hardly lays down long enough to run that fast.

Thanks ...I appreciate you stopping to say hello.... I wanted a 20 but I was tickled to find this one in the dry condition it is. I think I can do something with it to make her a better boat than she already is! I will post some pictures this weekend.

Hey there, Turns out I did'nt buy the 2004 200 mercury. The motor was a 25inch and I appear to need the 20in. I will keep looking for a 20 while I'm trying to make a movie Star out of the Hull. It's dry...mostly original.... and has eyeballs! Thanks for the info.

OK Guys...Here's the pictures of my new/old seacraft
Been doing a little work to her. Been doing most of the work on the trailer to get started so I can move her around town when I address the engine issues.http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/y...s/DSCN1385.jpg
