#5 x dimension

I'm rerigging my cat from Bravos to #5's on 10" extension boxes, what would be a good propshaft hight to start with? The boxes have two sets of mounting holes 1.5" apart so i have some adjustment.

The boat is a Mystic 32' twin with blower motors 700 hp, two step bottom with a 12" notch, & i would like to run 4 blades.
