Is there a out board motor mount available for a long shaft (15") outboard for a inflatable?
 
Can you be more specific? Where to you want to mount the motor, to the dingy, the stern, the rails, for storage?
 
I have never seen such an animal. I think you are out of luck mounting a long shaft on an inflatable. The motor wont run right if at all if you tried. Too much back pressure.

Hi

I thought 15" inch is standard length and 20" is long shaft motor.
My 15" shaft motor works just fine.

15" is the standard shaft. If you want to use a long shaft (20") you can laminate a piece to the transom of the inflatable to raise the mount 5". I would either bolt it, with metal plates on both sides of the old transom and the extension.
