1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011 2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260 3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.
According to their site, it only comes in 20 inch long shaft.
Classic Whalers take a 25 inch shaft for a single motor including your 1999 Conquest 21'.
There is no way you can have one of these on your 1999 Conquest 21' as that boat takes a 25 inch shaft motor unless you cut down your transom.
Either you are pulling our leg or the Yamaha website is not correct.
Do you work for Yamaha?
Or are you a Bass Fisherman with a different boat?
Apparently this motor is for Bass Boats as they state: "Super High Output four stroke for bass boats".
As an update, my friend received this week a quote of $12.3K rigged "out the door" for a 2013 Etec 150 25 inch leg. He will get another quote to be comfortable with making a choice. I informed him that I thought the quote was very reasonable.
I will be seeking advice at a later date on the optimal mounting height and propeller choice, once my friend makes a decision on the purchase of the E-tec 150.

Tell him to get a quote for the 175HP as well. If the max HP is 200, that's what i would get although if you want to save a couple bucks drop back to the 175HP It should only be slightly more than the 150, Right now Evinrude has a repower promotion running of 5year warranty + free rigging which includes a free stainless prop.
On Saturday, 15 June, I accompanied my friend and his son on a shakedown cruise aboard his 2013 Evinrude 150 E-Tec powered 1988 BW Outrage 20. The E-Tec 150 performed exceptionally well. While the sea conditions off of Martha's Vineyard (between Edgartown-Vineyard Haven) did not allow for full throttle operation, at one point we observed circa 40 mph at 5100 rpm. The 150 E-Tec was fitted with a Viper stainless prop. The cruising speed fuel burn averaged 5.2 GPH. The E-Tec 150 was a very nice performance match to the 1988 Outrage 20.
