Hang a line down centerline of transom or standoff box to determine actual height before cutting.

Just making sure were all talking the same measurement. I'll have to check how far below the pad the propshaft is.
Prop shaft is about -3"

If you're at 3" with the prop shaft parallell to the bottom (not the pad) you're at an X a bit higher than 17".

If I remember I was waffling between 17 & 18 so we split the difference....
Also my -3" is by eye......no straight lines or anything so easily +/-

I already had it flipped and shapened the edges of the strakes and the pad.

No hook in the hull at all...
