[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 341603, member: 826"] [b]Hello; I currently have an opportunity to buy a [i]"new 25hp motor"[/i] (with controls) at a really great price. Therefore, I am contemplating putting a long shaft 1991 Mariner 25hp with controls on my modified Meyers 15' Aluminum semi-V. The transom is roughly 15" or so. A local marine mechanic said that outside of the prop sitting 5" lower in the water, there is really not much difference in performance between a 25hp LS vs a 25hp SS on my boat (he hasn't seen the boat btw). Is this true? Outside of really shallow water, why do I [i]need[/i] a [i]"mini-jacker"[/i] plate installed? And would installing a "whale Fin" on the LS possibly help with getting up on plane better? Thanks in advance.[/b] [/QUOTE]
