Basic stuff... What is the measurement, or measure points, to determine long or short shaft... Short or high transom"?

Specifically, for a MudBuddy HD Sport (29 hp Kawi EFI). I suspect (am pretty sure?) I am running a short shaft motor on a high transom boat. I suspect (am pretty sure?) I am giving up some performance because I am. I am not particularly concerned about speed, though I'll take and extra mph or two. I AM concerned I am givng up performance on getting going from a stop in paticularly shallow and soft, soft mud situations. What am I giving up in getting out of the hole and up on plane?

Thanks!

Measure from bottom boat to the top of your transom.Short 16 in Tall 20 in.The bottom of the box on your motor should be 3-4 in above the bottom of the boat.That i'm not sure of but its close.Hope this helps

thanks that helps. I thought i was not going to get a response.

Short motor will have 6 bolts In the top belt cover and long will have 8.
