Cool boat. Just picked up a 18' 78' model to rebuild. How's the performance with the 60? There's a 50 Yamaha (2S) for sale locally that I'm interested in, which I think will be fine, but a buddy of mine doesn't think it will be enough.

What says you?

I had an 18' Starcraft (1984) Mariner CC w/ 55hp sometimes I wish I still had her. Great boat great memories. The 55 hp was fast and economical.

Phoeker,

It pushes boat about 24 to 28mph. Its really nice to work out of. The cmc power tilt is nice,the older motors don't have power tilt and it made boat plane real nice, the power tilt sets it back about 8 inches I have to use trolling bags to bring her down for brown trout in spring . The slowest trolling without bags is about 1.6, like slower when waters colder.

Alot of work about 2 years for me, thats on and off when I had the time.
