requires short shaft or adding a jack plate. this will be a shrimping, gigging, little kid riding boat.

my options are:
1. 25 Yamaha short shaft WITHOUT tilt and trim weighing 180lbs.
2. 25 Yamaha long shaft WITH tilt and trim requiring modification
3. 20 Yamaha short shaft WITHOUT tilt and trim but only weighing 117 lbs.

the "experts" have told me the top in will be 25-28 mph on the 20 and 25 given the weight difference. the big difference will be hole shot. the top speed nor the hole shot are a big deal bc we have a 21 cc for other purposes.

QUESTION: is the 20 hp too under powered for this boat? it is significantly less money which is part of the draw

Note: hull and would have been redone but not to the aesthetic beauty it was just to be solid and functional.

thanks in advance.
