It looks like a long shaft to me but measure it to be sure. http://www.brokeboats.com/shaftlength.html

You will need to measure it. it appears to have a spacer above the gearcase. That would make it a XL (25") motor.

i have a wellcraft cc boat that meaures 25 inch on transom height so i suppose this motor would work ok.
