Thanks guys. Local Evinrude shop is doing it and knows the whalers well to mount as you suggested.
As for transom torque, it shouldn't be an issue. They told me the engine is essentially the same as the 150 version, just remapped EMM and some other tweaks for a wider rpm band. Engine makes peak torque at about 5,100-5,300 RPM. I'll be able to swing a larger pitch and probably get it close to 50mph. Hole shot should be insane. They did 2 other. outrage 18's with same set up and were amazed.
