[QUOTE="jtf, post: 439672, member: 22611"] Not finding many motor offerings with short shaft. That limits tilt/trim doesn't it? Was pricing the 50/35 Tohatsu, Yamaha 40/30. So to get the 20" shaft, it will take either transom riser or jack plate? Yes, want the mod/vee. One of the dealers said ditch the jack plate and tuck the jet close under the bottom. The least weight of motor is important because limited access launch, don't require speed, shallow++ rocky rivers. The hull weight is about 350lb. Will call Tohatsu on Monday and check if they make a jet in 15" short shaft, assume Yamaha does too. Want to keep the foot just under the hull. [/QUOTE]
