I might have an opportunity to purchase this motor:
2004 Yamaha
20hp
Long shaft
2-Stroke
The motor is as his cottage, so he can't take the measurements that I need to know.
Just wondering if anyone has this motor, and could let me know a few things.
1. The distance from the top of the transom to the center of the prop?
2. How are these motors on gas?
3. Running a light 14' aluminum, what kind of top end speed would I expect?
Looking on the Yamaha website, the shaft of the SS is 15", and the shaft on the LS is 20". But I don't know how the shaft length corresponds to the transom dimension I asked about above.
Here's a link to the motor - http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/products.php?model=3791§ion=td&group=O#contentTop
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but any help on this would be great. If the dimensions work out, I may drive up the Perrysound and pick it up. Might be able to grab it for $1000 bucks...
