Bracket on a 20

[jorgeinmiami]

I am currently running a 20" transom on my 20MA.
Most engines are 25" shafts and I know some where down the line I will want and will have to replace the transom to a 25" transom . I have a line on a really nice Merc 200 OptiMax with very low hours that I can get for cheap

My question is could I not do a bracket and use a 25" engine till I redue the transom. I know I should just bite the bullet now and relace it but not now, I would rather start using the boat this summer and I like the boat with the engine on the transom. Here is pic of the bracket that I would use
