24 Excalibur X dimension??

What's the best X dimension on a 24 with Bravo setup? I have a 1973 Cheetah (Excalibur) and was running a bravo drive at the original X which is 7 inches below the bottom with a 27 Mirage. The boat is fast but I need to run the tabs dropped below the bottom and minimal trim to keep the boat under control. I swapped to a 2 inch shortie which put me 5 inches under and ran alot better. I know this is still to low so I want to pull the motor, seal the transom and raise the drive. Need to know where I should be. Here's some pics also.

Also considering going to a #4 drive with extension box. Any thoughts on this setup versus the Bravo?
