You'd have to get a jack plate or some transom extensions to raise it up 5". There are ALOT of good 20" shafted freshwater engines out there though, so it may work in your favor.

Heres a few to look at. The first one is a 25" shaft, the other 2 are 20's. The second one has a low water pick-up that you could sell and put a regular lower back on. The third one would be ideal, but is a ways away.
