My bad, the registration says 1972, my memory isn't what it used to be.

I stated in my post that The manufacturer recommends the 20" shaft. But at 22 1/2" transom the chart I found stated 22 1/2" was the border for 20" shaft vs a 25" shaft.

As my transom is right at 22 1/2" I was wondering if the 25" shaft is doable, shimmed up an inch.
