Picked a new wrong engine today

[jorgeinmiami]

Picked up a really nice 2000 Johnson 115 today on the cheap. The guy was moving and his former roommate left a few years ago and this guy wanted it gone. Great compression, came with the harness and controls all in nice condition. Was thinking of this for my Checkmate project that's moving along. All was well untill I looked up the model number to order a few parts and it's a 25 inch shaft and I need a 20 inch shaft. So my options are sell the engine or find a donor mid section and swap it out.

Sucks for me but I'm not into it for a lot of money
