Hey fellas. I'm new to these forums, and here's the deal.
I have a 1542 aluminum flatbottom from the 1960's that I've completely redone. Now I need a motor. The transom height is 16''. In looking around at motors, I've seen short shaft, long shaft, and standard shaft. I'm wondering is short shaft and standard shaft the same thing? Please help me determine what shaft length to get.
Also, the max hp tag is unreadable. Please provide suggestions on the appropriate hp for this boat. Is 25hp too much? Thanks, Justin
