wouldn't the most stylish approach be a new motor mount plate? that way you can reposition the prop where you want, too.

Rusty, I don't recommend doing this for the following reasons:

 
Hi Fred, 
 
I really hate it when you make sense like this :-)   I had already thought about the need to make shims with one side at a 1.5 degree angle, but didn't think about the bolt holes.  As I recall, those holes were very precisely drilled (by the previous builder), and the bolts were an excellent fit.  To make this work, I'd have to make tapered shims for the bolt head side as well, and accept some enlargement of the holes. 
 
Starting to sound much less desirable (again), but I haven't thrown in the towel yet.  I'll try to measure the actual offset, and see how much it really is.
