Well.... Seeing as how the name of the picture is "short shaft on a tall transom"........
I'm gonna guess it's something to do with that....

That said, the pic is so dark it's hard to tell but it almost looks like a tunnel hull boat and f so the motor would be fine... Just can't make it out.

Well, geeze, I didn't think that one through very well, did I? ;)

The boat is a basic Starcraft Holiday style runabout with a V hull. The motor is a short shaft (15-inch) and the transom was for a long shaft (20-inch). They even went so far as to try and band-aid it with a whale tale doohicky. I think the glint off of that is what made it look like a tunnel.
