[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 387784, member: 1523"] Spend time at your local ramps asking folks with similar boats what they like about there's. Some guys won't want to be bothered but others will tell you anything you want to know. 18' is going to want power to plane quickly. Tiller has a good many drawbacks on that size hull. It's going to limit your draft and weight balance both starting out and stopping. You'll dig deeper on take off and drop lower coming off plane (both opportunities to smack the bottom). As well your low and far back seating position will limit your visibility. All things to consider. [/QUOTE]
