Hey everyone,

I'm new to the site, (thanks to macojoe) I recently came into a 1978 steplift v-20. It needs new power. The engine on it is blown. Due to the shape of the transom the boat requires an engine with a 20" shaft length, vs 25" for most marine outboards. My question today is -- does anyone have any experience / opinions on using a jackplate and an engine with a 25 " shaft for this boat?

Thanks

Carl
