X dimensions are set pretty high from the factory. Unless you have big power, a shorty would probably be too high.
Also, some 28's (like my old one) had a notched transom. It needed a 3" spacer to lower the drive. Propshaft was about 4.5" below the bottom.

Is it a notched transom? Would like to learn more about it.......
