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.

Interesting. Did you try a 5 blade? How high did you start and where did you end up with what speed and slip?
