Re: motor height
Fab shop can cut down the transom....
Cut in a notch and weld in extra reinforcement to carry that bad boy...

Re: motor height
That’s what I did, ripped out the old transom, cut down and added new tubing. Here’s a pic that shows the notch cut out and how it was rebraced. 261BA42E-68AB-4BB6-9223-0437C7D69D50.jpeg

Re: motor height
I’d rather spend the money on a new housing for the Motor and make it a long shaft.

Re: motor height
Yes - but the average 15 foot jon has a transom designed for an outboard you can walk with in one hand - not a 250lb MM !
Transom will need extra bracing either way - or hull wont last long....
