 18X60 PD with 36hp PD
Just Great! The 18x60 with the 21" sides is just too good. Picked the boat up this morning, had the motor for about a year now. Took it out this evening and was just so happy with it I could pee straight up in the air. Alone with just fuel and icechest got up to 28mph. With the wife, two large cousins and my big self got up to 24.6 in deep water, 25.4 in the shallow stuff. The boat is stable and handles great. I do have to get used to that smooth bottom. I had been running a 1654 expess. The wife and I are very happy with our purchase and look forward to snatching many a pa ta sa over those 21" sides.  DSC03261.JPGDSC03260.JPGDSC03277.JPG

 Re: 18X60 PD with 36hp PD
I just picked mine up just like yours last week. I have the extended front deck and running about the same speed. I love the tall sides and the open space.

 Re: 18X60 PD with 36hp PD
What's up with the control box on the handle being bent backwards?

 Re: 18X60 PD with 36hp PD
poldeau, Very nice looking boat. I could use that much room with some of the stuff we carry out hunting. You might just be on to something good with that control box angle modification.
