[QUOTE="Wood_Duck, post: 364461, member: 9599"] 20" motor with jet pump will need a 25" transom for correct height. Still looking like Mercury is the only option in a new 60/40. It will be around 80ish extra pounds vs the 30/25. It's really not going to be that extreme. With a 60/40 it'll likely still be slightly slower than a 25 prop. Those capacity plates are more suggestive and basically no one will be taking issue to it. Just the transom concern. I'd rather just add a couple braces for a 15" motor than have a big riser fabbed for a 20" [/QUOTE]
