Default short vs long shaft?

Now that I have your attention, the question is related to outboards.
On my vintage sailboat, aux power is an outboard going out through a
well in the lazarette. Currently a steeenkin 2-stroke 15hp Johnson, I'd
like to replace it with one of those sweet Honda 9.9hp 4-strokes.
Currently the Johnson in place is a 15in shaft. Any comments positive
or negative with respect to putting in a 25in Honda?
