so after years of I/O boating I finally made the switch to an Outboard boat. Since this is my first outboard i have a question abouyt shaft length. The boat is a '99 starcraft fishmaster 176. The boat originally came with a 70hp Merc but I bought the boat with no motor. I would like to upgrade to a 115hp-150hp(max hp). the boat already has Merc controls so i just need the motor. How do I determine what shaft lenght I need(20"? 25"?)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
