[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 319592, member: 8490"] As others have said, longshaft gives you more "freeboard" ie transom above the water level. Less chance of swamping when taking wakes or decelerating suddenly, but all other dimensions being equal, the longshaft boat (and motor) will weigh a little more and probably draft slightly deeper.
