Ssm 6 transom assemblies account for a 13* transom angle.
I’ve never used the math measuring along the transom, I measure perpendicular to the running surface.
If you want the propshafts 2” below the bottom set the crank centerline measurement at shaft to shaft +2”. The boxes move the drive straight back, they look like they have rise in them, but that accounts for the 13* transom angle so the drives don’t end up lower.
2” above sounds like a good spot for them, the Old School top gun with a notched transom was 1” below the bottom, transom notched, no boxes and had no issues getting on plane. I was trying to talk Kevin into going up 2” with that setup when he had it.
