I am looking at buying this boat, no outboard on it, boat is rated up to 150hp. Dealer recommends a 115 Mercury. He states anything bigger requires hydraulic steering?

Looking for general advice on what secondhand motors will be fitable.
What shaft length do I look for?
Can a Johnson or Evinrude be made to fit without a lot of headaches?
If it must be Mercury, what year range is required.

I have no experience with these big outboards...and info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jim
