Mathias -

While you may think it is a good price, you are trying to stick a round peg into a square hole.

You are dropping 60hp.
Adding weight of bracket, further back off the transom

4" setback is not enough. Don't think 6" is enough.

Adding more setback will raise the boat's desire to porpoise (bow rocks up and down) and ruins the boat's ride.

Why not look for a good 25" shaft?
