Decisions, decisions.

what consensus? the only reason to go with a 30 inch shaft is if you go with a twin engine bracket and mount a single engine...dimensions of a twin engine bracket are completely different then the Capt Chucks.. if you were to mount a 30 inch shaft motor on Capt Chucks bracket you would need to raise the motor so high that the top two mounting holes would be above the transom of the bracket...in other words you would need a jack plate on the bracket...
