Yes as i said before i have seen a couple of posts from guys saying that they had to raise the motor a lot and in some of those posts even going to the last bolt, they feel that it should go up even more. That's why i asked the question: 20" shafts are ( in comparison) cheaper then 25" and so, why not?
On a 20' hull you can get by with a 20" motor but it will make the power head closer to the water than most people like. THe 25" motor will almost have the tilt/trim motor out of the water at rest where the 20" motor at rest will be down fairly far. The biggest problem I have seen is when you back the boat down. With the heavy rear weighted bracket the water swamps the outboard more with a bracket and the higher you can keep it the less issues of water intrusion. I wouldn't even try it on a 23' hull but you may get by with a 20' hull if you keep the boat calm water with a super light outboard. The taller leg just makes more since...
