    Hey DBvking, I just picked up a 1990 T18 in montreal this summer and am running it on lake simcoe now. Its got a 150 pro v 1990 yamaha on it. I am planning to put a 10" hydraulic jackplate on it, bobs cone, and longterm putting the stage 3 hydrotech 225hp kit on the motor so i can run 100mph+ with a 32 pitch 3 blade cleaver liek talonkid did. I was wondering what your boat is running now and what the set up is. cheers

    Hi,

    I have a hydraulic jackplate (a must) with 6" setback running a 30 chopper on a CLE. Motor is a 200hp EFI Promax and got low 80's MPH on the GPS.
    Going to raise the motor 1" next year, highest it will go to try to get more out of the boat. Also looking for a good Cleaver same pitch for next summer.
    Love the boat as it handles great.

    Thanks for the info, I am really hoping I can put a hydraulic jackplate on it this winter as I am becoming aware that it will make the most difference with the boat. Right now I am running about 71mph with a labbed 27 pitch chopper with stock motor mount. are you running any low water pick up, is that a must for jackpalte? I am unfamilier with the CLE term please excuse my inexperience in the field, its my first boat.

    Cheers

    PS got any pics of your boat?

    The lower unit is a CLE meaning that Mercury cast it in one peace with the holes at the nose.
    Like I said Hydraulic jack plate is a must especially running a high pitch prop to get out of the hole and than raise it on the fly at the pad level to get maximum speed.
    I have a 26 - 27 - 28 - 30" pitch props.. My favorite the 30"...
    And yes a low water pickup is a must as you don't want to have no water pressure, high temp and fry your motor when it is jacked up...
    You should post a picture of your boat..
