I'd recommend a Alberto or uni. Haven't had issues with either when tying braid to floro.

Same here. I can't count all the times I've banged my Ultrex with no issues.
-
There is a solution but it's expensive "very expensive" 24V lithium battery. Aprox. $1600

Get the Ultrex you won't be disappointed. I run power poles and a Ultrex, both have there place and use. The Ultrex can do alot more than just spot lock.

Like you know something about CG regs.. LOL

Strart with a good base layer like UA. Then a light cotton vest. Have pockets sewn on the inside of the vest. 2 on the chest, 2 on the back at shoulder level and 1 at each kidney. Place a hand warmer in each pocket and then layer over with your outer layers. With this I sit in the freezing cold for hours. Sounds like your good for hands and feet. Good luck on your new move and enjoy. Thank You for your service...

Seems like a good set up. Prop is right size for the 150 merc and a 18' boat. As mentioned above get out on the water and make sure your trimmed down all the way until your on plane. Remove any un-needed weight in the rear of the boat. If it still cavitates trying to get on plane, I'd lower the motor approx level with hull. And see how that feels.

Guys I sent him that pic so he would know where and how to measure his motors position. That's just a generic pic from a website. Since he isn't familiar with boats the more accurate info he can give the more we can assist. If he hasn't purchased yet the best advice was already giving. Have someone who knows boats go with him to help check it out.

This may help

Jeff. What motor are you running? What size prop.? Lower your motor to a level position then take a yard stick from the botton of boat to the ventilation plate on motor and tell us if it's level or if it's higher and by how many inches. This can answer some of your questions. Does the boat have a jack plate? I wouldn't buy a hydro-foil or a prop until you figure out the issue.

Good advice..

Cavitating. Prop or trim issue.

Matt, Not sure if you have electronics or if your going to but keep that in mind so the TM will match up with them. Good luck on your search.
