If you come across a really good deal on a motor but the shaft is too short, Maybe you can look at mounting brackets that allow you to raise or lower the motor.
I have no idea if one would fit a DS but you could look into it before you find that best deal.
My boat came with a 1980 4 hp 2 cylinder johnson. It has a VERY long shaft. Unfortunately the motor is at the summer house so I can't measure it for you.
