First make sure its actually 15", no need to hunt for one if its a 20".

Next, don't worry about it too much, you can easily raise it the 5" if it is 15".

Find the best motor you can for the money, finding a great 20" motor for a good price is better than getting a beater 15" model just because it will fit.

and used short shafts can be hard to find, because they are popular.
