[QUOTE="STIG, post: 478405, member: 28300"] I’m needing some advise on a new setup. The plan is a 17/52 Alweld prop tunnel with a 40hp Mercury tiller. Wanting this boat to run as shallow as possible, so that leads to a few questions. If I do a 21” transom with a prop tunnel (4.5”), will a long shaft engine run with the skeg above the bottom of the boat? Or should I go with a extra long transom? Boat will have a hydraulic jack plate with the factory electric trim. Any advise is helpful. Friend of mine has a 17/56 xpress tunnel. I like his setup but he has remote steer and I’m a tiller guy. I’ll be ordering this boat as soon as I figure out what I need. Jets are out of the question so I’m gonna stick with a prop tunnel setup. [/QUOTE]
