Jack plate on a Jon Boat

Hey guys. So went out yesterday and seems this new Jon Boat I got,the engine sits just like an inch two too high. When she try’s to plane out the prop comes up and out just a little. Since I am not a fan of cutting into the transom and weakening it. I’m thinking maybe a jack plate to lower it.
Anyone ever seen or done this?? And how hard would it be to mount??
Thanxs fellas
