Next question {I'm like a little kid that NEVER stops asking questions} What are you getting for speed out of your 150's......

BLu - I just picked up the 1979 Mercury V200 today. It's been sitting in garage for the last 15 years . . . the thing looks brand new!!! Lower Unit is 20" has the typical paint skuffs. Let me know if you're interested in a swap? FYI - other parts that need to be swapped when you change from the 20 to 25" shaft are

shift shaft
mounting studs
water tube

I'll post some detailed photos.

Honestly I think the jack plate is your best option . . . I'm going to replace the shaft anyway with a 25" and I can send you the 20" shaft, shiftshaft,mounting studs, and water tube.
