Can someone give me the distance from bottom of boat to centerline of outdrive lower? (nose cone tip)

On my 30' single step with twin blown 454s its 5" when parallel to the running surface
I don't know if it right or wrong I just bought the boat this summer
It is difficult to get on a plane, looses traction easy

Thank you for your help. What props are you using?

Happy to share my experience (for what its worth!)
They are 16.5 x 29", I don't know the make
I don't have solid data, I flattened a cam early on in the season
Re-building the engines so I'll need bigger props anyway
I wise man once told me if it breaks, fix it faster!
