Is it possible?

Is it possible to extend a short shaft outboard to a long shaft outboard?
My father has a 1977 Johnson 9.9 Seahorse with a short shaft, But needs a long shaft. Is there any places that offer conversion kits? Or is he stuck with buying a new long shaft motor?

I'm sure they do. I extended the shaft on my 1984 15 HP Johnson. Check out this site: http://www.marineparts.com/partspages/Accessories/acc8.htm

What about just buying a plate to drop the motor down further on the transom?
