that is what I was afraid of
it just seems to be geared lower than before. I found a used lower unit in Morgan city that came off of a 200 hp motor and in my ignorance drove all of the way to get it without asking about the length of the shaft. The lower unit seemed to be just right, but when i got back with it my mechanic informed me that it has a 25 inch shaft. Then I found one in Lafayette that came off of an older model dt150 and it too looked right so i brought it back (after measuring the shaft) and it went on the boat and works right, the boat just doesn't have the speed that it had before, especially at the lower rpms.
