Hey gentleman and ladies!
Buying my Ericson 27, and it's coming without an outboard. The owner of the local marine shop is telling me to go with an extra long (25") shaft for sailboats, but the transom seems to sit super low already. Looks like I can almost get away with a short!
I'm sure this discussion has been brought up before, but for 2023, what would you all recommend? Honda makes a 15 hp Power Thrust (High torque) in extra long, or a 20 horse power thrust in regular long. I see the boats with inboards have 30hp, and I would rather have the power and not need it, than need it and not have it.
The 20hp isn't available in extra long.
