If I remember right, the B/S 5 hp only comes in a 15 in shaft version. It 
will work on an R22 in dead smooth conditions, IF everybody stays in the 
back of the boat. As soon as anybody moves toward the bow, the prop will 
ventilate. Not exactly the situation you are looking for........been there, 
done that.
