I recently repowered a 1985 17 super sport with a 115 hp suzuki 4 stroke. It has 25shaftwas rigged with a 6 inch jackplate with 4" setback. The additional weight from the 1994 merc 90 two stroke to this setup was 137 lbs, however it sets boat way to low in the water. I have a 90 honda 4 stroke that I could rig on the whaler, however that would only be 43 lbs less tha suzuki setup. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
