    1956 Big Twin Electric Starting motor

    Picked up a 56’ Crestliner 15’ with 56’ Big Twin on it.... Seems a bit long for this 15 inch transom measures out closer to long shaft motor than a short shaft.... were there optional shaft length available that year, looks like the 30 hp was made only 1 year. Thanks in advance for your replies.
