Default how to determine the X-dimension?

Hi guys I started to replace the transom on my 30 scarab. The boat was converted to a single before I bought it and I am going to return it back to twin Bravo 1's. I have a rough idea where the cut outs used to be but I don't trust anything that the previous owner did to this boat. I was hoping that someone on here could help me? I am also considering raising the X and I need some advice or pro's and con's in doing so. Any ideas would be a big help.

I would imagine that an 18" X would work for that boat.

Your going to replace the stringers in the engine room? I Have a Bravo Install Manual somewhere that splains how/where to measure, I'll have to dig it up.

I do have to install a new stringer in the center because it was cut out but the others are in great shape. I did some grinding today and could see that the drives have been cut in two different locations and out side stringers have two bolt locations someone has raised it before

when they converted to a single they only removed the center stringer and cut a new hole for the drive
