Why not a mercury? Nothing but good reviews on them . My 150 has a ton of power. Easy to maintain and less moving parts

I wouldn't know about modifying but when I was looking to repower a couple years ago and needed an XL shaft (25") I felt like I kept seeing motors geared toward bass boats that were 20" shafts. I say keep looking. I went with a remanufactured motor from Blackbird Industries in Western PA and it's working out well for me. Good luck with it.

thanks  for the reply i have seen alot bass  boats also have 20 inc shafts

have a boat that has a  20 inch transom  motors are  hard to  find with a  20 inch  shaft need  advice  what to do get a jack plate or  maybe a  conversion kit   found a 150  hp  yamaha  4  stroke

ya was thinking  try  find a long  shat   least 15 hp kicker  thanks for the info

On the pic above it doesn't look as though a bracket is needed. As long as the motor shaft lengths are the same why go that route? If you intend to hook up a steering connector as long as the shafts are compatible you wouldn't need a bracket either. As long as you can raise the motor up out of the water when you are on plane or full tilt  you should be good to go as is I would think. A consideration with brackets is getting a very sturdy one that supports the motor type e.g.4 stroke vs. 2 stroke as 2 stroke brackets have much lower carrying capacity for a 4 stroke motor.

putting 15 hp yamaha  kicker  better  fixed or ajustable ?

In any case you want to allow for the weight of the kicker on there.

thanks now to decide honda yamaha or  suzuki

i bought this boat has a 175   evinrude  and a 20  kicker  whant to replace it   with a 4  stroke  was thinking  honda yamaha or  suzuki maybe a 150 hp is that to  small  need go to 175 or 200 what the boat can take is 225  hp max help appreciated

Agree 1000%. Pancake weights = tangles. They take on a life of their own in cross currents
