Is it a bravo or TRS boat. Given a tall deck is only marginally higher than a regular block I certainly don't think it would be an issue in a bravo boat and only an issue in a TRS boat if the drive height has been raised . The wild card card would be an SSM boat.

I have tall decks in my Flat deck and the drives are 36 inches on centre and I have a center hatch ram . I am running CMI tubular headers with about an inch of clearance either side , if that helps.
