Sounds like an electric trolling motor would work for that, unless it's just to fast for ya :D :D

Jonas,

what sort of speeds does the 18ft run with the 120hp? I always wanted to but a console in one with a 90 on the back...

Lubejobs42,

They are so stable, they only way the go over is to run them into a 2-3metre (6-9ft) surf break, full noise with an onshore wind, then you may go over...

Excellent for cleaning your boat, as the have a perfectly flat floor and wash through transom, you couldn't go wrong with one

I used to race them, this is my old Gemini ZX1 in the Austraila VS NZ champs in 03, was a pretty rough race in the surf!

unbelievably stable,
as you kknow with the airentrapment style hulls it awesome in the rough,
i run the snot out of mine the faster you go the better as it just barks the prop,,

Nice you know how kickass these boats are,,

18 with 120 i got into high 70's i know it had more but i need more seat time, and get the trim to work better,
