OK let's start out with I know I should get a short shafts motor but can't afford 1 right now. Yes a transom elevator would work but my transom is odd ball so I don't think it will.
Here's the story I have a 1962 seahawk boat. It had a 1973 Johnson 40hp short shaft on it. Well the motor took a crap on me. I ended up finding a 1976 evinrude 40hp long shaft model 40655R for next to nothing. Mounted it to boat and it runs absolutely amazing. Bad thing is my plate is 5 inches lower then the hull.
Will I be fine running this motor on this boat will I be able to use it for fishing or what.
