X dimention on straight v
Guys need some input. I have a 28ft conventional v. Boat will have a single big block. Not sure where to set x. I'm getting mix answers. Some say prop 2-21/2 below bottom an some say 3 1/2-4 below. The hull is the cig mold.
Thanks ron

what drive? if it's a std. length bravo with 500 -700 hp than 17" would be a good start. I guess the question is what was the X and shaft depth before the re rig?

The boat had outboards on a bracket. So transom has never been cut. I'm running a bravo standard hight w a 540 675hp
