Avon 345 long or short shaft?

[parm]

I have the chance of buying a avon 345 but no engine can anyone tell me if it takes a long or short shaft? And is 20hp is plenty for messing on river?

It could be both, You need to measure from the top of the Transom to the lowest point. Could be 17" which is short shaft. 20" is long shaft.

Yes, loads! 8 or 10 hp would probably be sufficient for the river, depending on the speed limit!
