Does anyone know of a company that makes a bracket to raise up my outboard 5 inches?

I have a Bombard (by Zodiac) inflatable with high pressure V hull that can fit up to a 8 HP outboard. I bought this dinghy for my sailboat which is kept on a mooring.

I have an old Johnson 6 HP and a new Mercury 6 HP, both long shaft (for the sail boat). The dinghy is set up for a normal (short) shaft motor.

I want to be able to use either engine on the dinghy while also keeping the prop at the correct depth.

If you don't intend to full wot to plane sib as you will probably have back transon water splashing inside sib issues, just use sib as a sailboat tender you could use as it is. Being a small engine, no prob with prop or transom. Brackets are bit expensive.

Happy Boating
