    Replacing Gas engine with electric motor

    Pontoon trailer springs

    pontoon trailers are different than v-hull trailers you need either a scissor or bunk trailer for the pontoon. and majority of the bunk trailers for pointoons have torsion axles. also, your 18' pontoon would not be rated for a 75hp motor

    Looking to find what this boat may be worth

    your best bet to sell it is to go on the inline 6 Mercury outboard group. as long as cylinder #3's compression is the same as the other 5, it will sell in a heartbeat. https://www.facebook.com/groups/213725501742
