$100 bucks to raise a motor is nuts, at least on an Evinrude, with the slots on the lower bolts! If you have a nose wheel on trailer, all you have to do is lower trailer tongue, put a block of wood under skeg of motor, pull top mount bolts, loosen lower mount bolts, and then have a helper crank up the nose wheel/front of trailer until top bolt hole on motor is where you want it and reinstall and tighten bolts (after making sure they're well sealed! - I like to use Life Caulk which never completely hardens, although Don Herman uses Silicone sealer; he fills entire lower slot with silicone.) Should take all of about 30 minutes!
