Default 357 clearance under hatch ?

How much clearance is there under the engine hatch of a 357 ? Do I have room for a Victor Jr. with one inch spacer and still use a decent size air cleaner ? Engines are already out so I can't take any measurements. Thanks, if anyone knows.

I am not sure how much taller my 177 blowers are, but there is just an inch maybe two of clearance..

If the blowers fit I would think I should be OK. Do you know how much power they put out? What speed do you see?

I have not had the boat out in about two years. I was not getting full RPMs last time out. 4800 RPM was getting 72GPS with 26 Pitch Hydromotive QIV props. The props had been worked by someone and Julie at Throttle Up fixed them with a proper lab, I have not ran them yet. I just have not had the time or extra dollars to get back out since so its been a little TLC project here and there. Now the flame arrestors had to be modified to fit under the hatch. I am hoping soon to redo the hatch with some scoops that have been collecting dust lately...
