My boat is 29 ol and have a similar setup. I have big power, imco boxes, and -2 shorties. Here are two pics of my prop height. The one with the tape measure is with the drive all the way down. The one without the tape is with the drive on the same plane as the bottom of the boat. I think it is a little high for my boat. Pics are from the inside of the drive. I don't mean to high jack but want to see what you guys think. I figure it at 2 1/2 to 3".

If you are referring to me, they are neutral imco boxes and there is no way they are at 4". If you look at the pics they don't lie, but I also think 30 or 32's will be the way to go.

Going by the pics you posted I'm guessing your at 3"!! If it where me I would bring them down to 4-4.25" I'm at 4.25 on my 32 and it runs well where there at!!!

Was out on the lake Monday and there were 3, 33 Outlaws running around. My buddy's which has the boxes and 2 others with no boxes. I know one of the boats is a 496MAG HO boat. Not sure what power the other has. Anyway, both non-box boats carried the bow significantly higher than my buddy's boat with the boxes. Probably can't tell much from this pic as it was taken with my iPhone and I did not zoom in but it gives you an idea how wet his boat runs. Makes you think he should just ditch the boxes. The other pic is another buddy with a 303 Formula. Gives you and idea just how bow down the Baja runs.
