[Rhodes22-list] Outboard engines

[cjlowe]

Nick,
The only bad thing I've heard about the 25" shaft is it's hard to get far
enough out of the water for a starboard tack.If you sail where you can
expect a lot of big waves,I would be inclined to go with the 25".I'd like to
hear from somebody who has a 25" shaft,and get their opinion.I think that in
docking ,the long shaft would keep the controls higher over the transom,for
tight  quarters steering with the motor and tiller.
as if you weren't confused enough,
