It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

Pros:
Cons:

Built by the Johnson Boat Works of
Minnesota. Shoal keel with a
center-board. Closely resembles
a Precision 18. The ballast is
2 removable lead weights of about
100# each. The boat weighs about
1200# (without ballast). A well
built easily trailerable boat.

This is more of an update than a review.

I just got an email from a Johnson 18 fan.

It seems that after building ~150 boats, production of this highly-regarded 18 stopped. Then Catalina bought the molds, built 12 boats, but they never got a handle on the marketing reqs.

Currently, a California boatbuilder is negotiating for the rights to the name and molds. If things work out, the 18 is expected to become available in both its original configuration, and a carbon version with tapered mast and trap.

I've always loved this boat. I hope it makes a strong comeback.
