I know, I know... I'm going to get a lot of "You doofus, of course not"s.
I've got a good line on a DT140 from a source I trust for only 2 grand. The catch is that it's a 25" shaft. Is this a big no-no, or is there something I can do that can make this motor work? [?]
(The alternative is buying the old Grady White in the dealer's lot with a 20" fuel-injected Suzzy 140 for $4500.)
Now I've got thoughts of enclosing the transom and adding a bracket. Should I suck it up and let this deal go, despite my primal urges to have this motor? Or should I pull the trigger, lose ANOTHER boating season, and dive into another project on an otherwise ready-to-go boat?[V]
