Looking at 618 pro

[Skeeter1987]

Thanks, how’s the 618 ride in 3 foot chop ? What kind of speeds y’all get out of the 150 pro xs ? I’m looking at one that has a hydraulic jack plate , never used one before. An overall review of the boat would help me out too. I’ve never rode in one or even seen one in person. Thanks in advance

I can't imagine a better ride for an 18 ft class boat. If you removed the jackplate and motor from the 618, you would need a 18'11 foot long box to put it in length wise. With the jackplate the motor sits over 19ft from the nose tip and I think this makes the boat ride better then most true 18'6 boats I've ridden in. In my first post I was truthful when I say it rides just as well at my old 19'6 Ranger. that said, it is not a 21ft boat. Top speed on my boat with 150 is roughly 61. One day I got 62.6. Jackplate is great for florida where I might be running in 2ft of water. Does not get much use in KY.

I know you are 3 hours away but if you are ever in the Tuscaloosa area, I would be glad to take you out in mine.
