Quick ? for you. Is your motor a 20 " shaft or 25". I am getting conflicting info. JM said in one post that the 19.5 inch to the dwl is good for a 20" shaft. that measurement gets you 25.5" to the bottom of the hull. In my limited experience that was the measurement used to gage shaft length. i am confused.
Thanks
Roland
Roland, I have the "long shaft" Honda 90, which I assume is 25". I wouldn't stress over 1/2", you will be able to adjust when mounting your motor. Good Luck, Ron

The Duckbill Drains worked! Thanks for the suggestions! The boat took on minimal water during launching and stayed almost dry the whole day. Just a slow troll and the water drained. I just needed a little slope at the the ramp to get the boat clean. It was the first time I wasn't standing in water all day! This forum is the best!

Keep them clean and supple. UV will perish then in the end, though there's spray protectants that work against that.
