Can anybody tell me if the outboard looks like it is a "long" shaft?

Chris:i'm pretty sure it's a "standard" long shaft but i don't know.

If it is the "standard series" than the shaft is 20 inches.
If it's the power thrust series it may be 25 inches
from this picture you can tell there is some writing under the "8" but i can't make it out
Looks like the Power Thrust version (writing on cowling and appears to be 4 blades on the prop). At first I thought it was the 20 inch version but looking at a photo of my boat it could be 25 (I have a 25 yamaha). Best take a tape to it.
Weird these photos show up as a link. Usually they just come up embedded in the email...
