Just picked up a 1990 Sea Nymph 19ft. Striper. It has a 70 hp. Evinrude long shaft on it.
Not sure the motor came with the boat originally?
Motor runs fine except the boat is rated for 140 hp.
Looking at higher hp motors but I not sure about what shaft length to look for.
I know, just measure the transom from the top to the point at the bottom, right?
Too much junk in the way, t&t , transom bracket etc.
Can't tell for sure exactly what it measures but seems to be more than 20 inches.
Does anybody know if this particular boat takes an extra long shaft motor?
Also, any thoughts on how big a motor to look for.
Intend to use the boat maybe six times a year to fish lake Erie.
thanks in advance for your consideration
Will post photo once I learn how to resize them again.
