I wouldn't know about modifying but when I was looking to repower a couple years ago and needed an XL shaft (25") I felt like I kept seeing motors geared toward bass boats that were 20" shafts. I say keep looking. I went with a remanufactured motor from Blackbird Industries in Western PA and it's working out well for me. Good luck with it.
