[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 473939, member: 22139"] A long shaft would definitely give you more bow lift. You didn't mention if it's a 14 or 16 but either way a 25 will suffice. I'm a big fan of the Johnson Evinrude 521cc motors made for many years. I've had good luck with them. Weight distribution is also a big factor in getting a boat to plane. I've had a couple 14 ft boats that I had to use a hydrofoil on the motor to get them to pop up on plane. But that's a discussion for after you get a new motor. A lot of people will tell you to go four stroke. While a four stroke is a sweet motor, they weigh a lot more than the older 2 strokes. I'd be looking for a mid 90's johnnyrude.
