Re: 4 Stroke 115 for my 18' Starcraft SS
Thanks EZ. I was hoping you would chime in.
Starman, thanks for the advise, I think instead I'll go with a string of helium balloons if I need more lift.
That was pretty funny right there
Well, the SS has styro on the port and star sides of the splashwell and in the crossbeam that
attaches to the sidewalls already, so adding 100-150 pounds of weight off the back that wasn't
in the original specs means nothing.
The 1977 model 1500 had roughly a dry weight of 290 pounds versus about 425 on the Suzuki 115hp.
The boat weighs 844 dry so you will be hanging 1/2 of the boats weight off the transom.
The 1990 SS18 weighed 1300 pounds with a max 120HP
There is something to be said for poppin wheelies....................lol
