Interested to hear how it turns out. I want to do the same thing. If there is any cavitation issues, my hunch is moving to a 5 blade propeller would fix it.

Okay have a 24-ft Baja I put an imco - 2 no problem planning off I have to run Bravo 1 prop I tried 27 3-blade will not plan off only playing off with the four blade that's just my boat I think it needs a cavitation plate you can buy and put it on but I'm happy with the four blade cuz the boat handles great doesn't sidewalk at all

A 24' Baja starts with propshaft depth in the basement at around 7" below the bottom.

I have CAD/dxf filee, for large cav plate used with -2 sportmaster. Just bend The sides after IT IS Cut. Works like at charm, prop shaft 3.7" Below bottom on My 26ft stinger.

You're right 88 was deeper I believe 1995 they moved it up cuz my buddy had an outlaw and his Drive was higher than mine put the shorty on his boat did work good work good on mine now
