18 Charger DL - re-power and performance advice
Hi Everyone.
I'm new to Scream and Fly and have enjoyed reading many of the threads.
Does anyone have any advice on re-powering an 18' Charger DL?
I'd like to purchase a used 18 Charger DL and a new motor (or new ish) as I just don't have time to mess with an older motor.
I'm looking for 2 stroke power, but worried about the weight of the Evinrude G2's. And Merc seems to have discontinued the optimax.
I've heard that the heavier motors have caused this hull to porpoise. Is this true?
My goal is high 60's MPH range with full fuel and 3 adults so I don't think I need huge power.
Any advice on repower or how this hull performs is very much appreciated.
Thank you all.
