Thanks Bobby D. I own another boat which I used IL Bilgecoat and had the same experience with slight yellowing. The other boat is a shamrock which mostly sees saltwater. Since posting the question...

Motor is out and I want to recoat the bilge on my 2001 18C and keep it original as possible. I am leaning towards white gel coat but I am not sure it will be compatible with the inside of the...
I pay $395 a year from Progressive and I disclosed the 383 400.

2001 18 Classic
Where is the depth transducer typically mounted on 18 classics out of the factory?
The transducer that came on my boat is not epoxied to the bilge, just hanging there. Its a Gaffrig 5001 series...
I was also concerned about reversion when installing the 383 400 black scorpion in my 18. I have corsa quick and quiet plus (switchable diverters with silencer tips). When I called Corsa, they were...
My dream of having a classic 18 repowered with a 383 is now fulfilled and I wanted to post this thread as a report in case it might help someone else in the future with a similar project. Here is...
I got the 2008 383 scorpion in the donzi and kept the alpha drive. Everything is ready except for the shift interrupt switch. My bravo configured engine will not use the shift interrupt that my...
The black scorpion I bought does not have CMI headers. The person I bought the motor from reduced the price to exchange CMI headers for standard merc manifolds and risers. I knew that the CMI...
Can anyone show me a photo of how your throttle cable is connected to the throttle body on a 383 400 HP Black Scorpion with the throttle body lever near the back of the engine next to the K&N filter?...
I am in the process of replacing my 350 mpi mag with a 383 stroker scorpion 400hp in a 2001 classic 18. Keeping the alpha drive. You can see some feedback I recieved in my recent thread called...
I got in touch with Jerry from Stainless Marine this morning and had a great conversation about their transom water pickups. I am sure many of you already know this, but he gave me his opinion on...
I am getting ready to install a bravo water pickup on my 2001 classic 18. I will be keeping the alpha drive and I need to decide what water pickup is needed. After looking at countless threads...
Ooops. Less than $500 a year. I was confusing it with my insurance policy on my 36 Skater (just kidding).
Smokediver,
Are you running a drive shower with your alpha?
I found insurance at under $500 a month through progressive, with the 383 in the equation.

Steve,
I forgot to answer your previous question about what motor I bought. It is the black reman 383 400 HP with the flame colored flame arestor, 2008 model.
I like the idea of keeping the...
Most importantly, I made a donation to the website this morning and I hope to get my boat info on the registry tonight after work.
Secondly, thanks for the good advice.
My insurance company...
Instead of the 1993 classic 18 I was considering, I found a 2001 Donzi 18 and bought it. It has a 350 mag mpi with alpha drive, 35 hours apparently. I want to put my stroker 383 400HP in the boat...
I appreciate the good advice. I plan to hold out looking for a bravo configuration. If something doesn't come up in the next few weeks, I might end up in Seattle bringing the king cobra home. I am...
Call me crazy, but I own a new Mercury 383 stroker scorpion, 400 HP, bravo configuration. I want to put it in a nice 18 Classic with a windshield. I am on the west coast and it is hard to even look...
I have never posted here before. I have been looking for an 18 Classic for a mere three weeks now. Decided to try this one on the water today and had an absolute blast. Perhaps not the right one...
