Going to place a bravo 1 outdrive on my 24 P&D and not sure of the x dimension. I have a sbf 351 pushing about 350 hp. What am I looking it to have a good height for beat all around? I was told 17 1/4'' then 17 and now 16 1/2'' and I want to have this done within the next week if possible

Thank you

Easier and cheaper to space down, than to go up. I'd go 17"

I just want to have a happy medium. Have you had the 17 on yours? The 16 1/2" sounds to low?

not my boat, it's scarab63's but yes we cut it at 17" iirc. puts prop shaft 5" below. A few guys have gone as high as 19, but with mild power and all around performance/handling in mind I'd reccomend 17

What does iirc stand for?

How did you get your x dimension. Measuring straight up from the bottom or measuring up to the bottom of the gimble then adding 9 1/4"? I've heard both ways as vintage chromoly also said on the thread I started with pantera
