Motor for 18x60 recomendations
To me it seems that an 1860 is on the verge of needing an extra two feet and another motor. It's a pretty big boat for one motor in my opinion.

Re: Motor for 18x60 recomendations
It depends on the hull. If its a hull made for a mm a stock 35 should get you to the upper 20's empty,let's just say 26 maybe 27. Then as you add SOME weight the speed won't drop because the hull will haul a load better.
PM westendangler he has an 18x60 that he ran stock then modded,he could give you better numbers and expectations. Or look for him in the boat review section

Re: Motor for 18x60 recomendations
stock 35 will do just fine, unless you are in a race, or want to sound tough on here.
