Sold my Paradise F13

[WILDMAN]

I just finished putting a new Mercury 60hp four stroke on my 13ft Paradise. I just sold it and customer wanted a new motor. I just ran it today for the first time

Looks like it could have used a short shaft motor...

How did you like the 60R? I thought about one for my next Tuff 16.

Shortshaft won't work, besides, they aren't made in a 15". It's not a 60R, just a 60 Command Thrust which has the bigger gearcase

I love those F13's such cool little boats.

I had a Mercury water mouse with a Tohatsu 50, what a blast.

The 60R is the same motor as the command thrust (minus rev limiter difference) but short shaft. Looks like you had to mount it real high on the transom is why I suspect a 15" would have worked.
