My boat likes a 1" shortie...and 30# of rice in the nose...go figure.

Chris, your expertise is welcome in this conversation, but talk of your boat is not, makes me too sad lol. I am kidding man, your engine is in my desktop rotation for pictures lol.

I will definitely measure my X dimen when I get home before I tear apart my outdrive lol. If Bob is down, I will tow the ole girl to his place and go from there. I am not a huge fan of being the slowest in the group, but by no means do I have the funding to be the fastest either. Such is life.
