Adjustable standoff box

If i was able to build a standoff box that allowed the driver to adjust the drive height up and down while under power what would be a good range of motion? How many inches up and down?

Stainless Marine made one for Rick Turmel about 10 yrs ago. Brownie should be able to comment on this.

yes I was thinking the same thing, I think his drive was a #4 but could be wrong I talked to rick back then. and 3'' sounds good, low to get on plane then move up 3'' bingo. or buy a Arneson 7 drive.
