I would think up to a 200HP you would be fine with the added leverage, beyond that I would think the structure would sure get tested. You could always take your boat down to an aluminum welder and have hime replace the rear plate on your bracket with one 5"'s taller and weld it on there. I personally would just find a 25" shaft.
