One on ebay for 29 bucks now. Don't cut off the shaft protrusion-- you may want to use it at a later date--and it doesn't look stupid. In fact, you can use the hole in the end of the shaft: Put a small bolt and locking nut or a large cotter pin through it and if the prop nut works loose, it will prevent it from coming off the shaft and prevent you from losing a prop.
I have sometimes thought about taking my late model lower units to a shop and have a 1/2 inch extension either welded on the prop shaft ot having the shaft drilled and tapped to again add an extension.
Jiggs: Your shaft MUST have the extra length on it to mount the cone. Later Force lower units did not have it and while the flare washer can be used as a spacer, the cone will not mount. It slips over the end of the shaft and a screw (the same part as the shift pivot screw goes into a hole in the shaft.
