Can you get on plane with a three blade prop. I know it is a twin app but my 34 Scarab would blow out with three blade props ( 25 Mirage ) After installing -2 IMCO shorties I went to 24 pitch Bravo 4 blades. The boat handled better and I gained about 2 MPH. The improvement in handling was worth it. Where do you live? If you lived local to me I would let you try one of mine. I have a -2 and a -3
See if you can find someone with one that you can try out with them along for the ride. All it should cost you is some drive oil.

where did your prop shaft height end up?

I ran the -2's on the SCARAB - I run the -3 on the Daytona. The Scarab liked the -2's, I would try the -2's. Yes I was running stock 28 pitch Bravo 1's. I don't remember how far the props shafts were below the hull on the SCARAB ( I think they were about 3 to 4 inches.)
The -3 on the Daytona puts the prop shaft at one inch above the lowest part of the hull. I couldn't begin to get on plane with the 28 Bravo 4 blade until I increased the negative trim.

Yes it will bolt right up BUT you need to do a little clearance work to clear the prop. I just bolted on an old cav plate from IMCO and used a sawzall to cut off what hangs below the cav plate. Then I cleaned it up and sealed it off. works great.
