Sounds like an interesting boat. My oldest and his friend are out 
fishing regularly on a 10' micro plastic bass boat, which they putter 
around with a 2hp. They were rather surprised by the difference using my 
4hp made.

As for the short-shaft... when I was part of a student yacht club they 
were always buying old motors and swapping in/out lower units. I think 
they have the record in Seattle regions on number of motors ruined in a 
given season. But the point is, there were always extra short shafts 
lying about. Ask around at places which do lessons and other work with 
small motors if all you can find is a long-shaft. I'm sure you can find 
something.
