I modified my princecraft and changed it from a 15 to a 20" transom to better fit the long shaft Evinrude 35. Ran it that way for years, but recently came across a nice Evinrude 50, so I decided to go for it since it's the same weight as the 40 HP that the factory Starfish 20 is rated for.
I am VERY happy with the upgrades. Smooth, quiet and strong. It seems comparable in fuel burn to the 35, especially in mid-range speed. It tops out around 36, but I typically run it 25-30 MPH.
Here is video of me cruising the other day. It was so nice, I didn't even feel like fishing:
