Shaft Length...
Hey guys,
I am looking at a decent deal on an Opti 175 to replace my Opti 115. My question is, my transom is 22" high. Opti's come in 20" or 25" shaft length. The motor I'm looking at is a 25" model. If I buy it, I will certainly put it on a jackplate. I know there would be more drag with a longer shaft and no jack plate. Would it be better to jack "up" a 25" shaft motor or jack "down" a 20" motor? Or no real difference other than the extra weight of a 25" motor (slight). If it makes any difference whatsoever, remember my hull is a modified V with no real "pad".
