[QUOTE="TimeBomb, post: 475209, member: 25908"] Mr. Giggles, you are correct and I am thinking too much. :roll: Transoms probably more like 16" vertically. The shop I bought everything from does have two 2015 Mercury 25s in stock, an EH and an ELH. The short shaft is a touch cheaper, I'm supposed to hear back from the sales manager today on what they can do about swapping out the outboards. Also noticed yesterday that their install job is a little bonkers. They set the engine down on the transom and then bolted it through on the bottom hole. What good is having motor height adjustments if you can't use them... :? TurboTodd, also correct. I'm starting to feel like I was just pushed out the door with whatever they could sell. That hull is SUPER heavy. It's awesome and I love it, but 540-ish lbs dry weight does not at all match well with using a motor that puts out half the power the hull is rated for. If I had the money for it I almost wish that transom was rated at 35hp. I can't imagine it wouldn't handle it, but it seems with a boat so wide and heavy even 25hp seems like a low maximum rating. You guys have all been a big help so far, I appreciate all of the input. [/QUOTE]
