What do you think about a #6 on 27ft hull. Propshaft 2" above bottom too? Hull is non stepped but with 8" deep notch.

Chris12 sounds like over kill unless your putting big hp through it,#6 drive + transmission very heavy, imco scx4 wrked great for me 1" above bottom 8" notch 12" stand off, @ 800 hp 108 mph 5blade 6 cleverhttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e48013858.jpeg

i think like said by others you’d need big HP to make up the difference for the added hassle. It would be a good place to start but I would bet you could maybe lower the drive some. Check 300s old checkmate was a 6 I believe 3 below the bottom. My boat however did not like the drive that low. Been there and was disappointed. The more I raised the drive the better the boat handled and the faster it went.

I started out with the drive much higher but I couldn't get the bow out of the water. We did end up with the drive much deeper which gave the boat trim leverage.
