no a long shaft on short shaft trans will drag in the water. wont be as fast as it should be. and why a merc? lol OMCs are for fishermen you can make the transom bigger if you really have to.

CRAPPIE fishing is not a sport, its a way of life!
(River scum), I can get the best deal on the Mercury and it is in stock at the dealer, I would like to have a Yamaha high thrust but they are hard to find. Jackplate sound"s like a good idea.
you can make one too, go to tinboats.net,there are some on there

If it's at a dealer and they want to get rid of it that badly, see if they'll put a 15" mid on it. If they're trying to sell you a 20" motor for a 15" boat, run far and fast from them.
