I have a RU310HP (airfloor/keel) and was able to get a free 2cyl 6HP johnson 2 stroke. I haven't measured it yet, as I just got it home and had to run out, but it might be a long shaft motor. The dink is rated for a short shaft, and while I'm sure it will be fine I likely won't get very good performance if it is the long version. What's the best way to get the motor up higher in the water? Maybe sister in some 1" marine plywood on the transom to extend the mount on the boat up 5" ? I know it sounds nuts to modify the boat to fit the motor, but you can't beat free.
