it depends on where the prop shaft ends up.best to start w/ what you have and see if you need to go up or down in pitch.
not familiar w/ the scarab,but will that hull like a box,small singles can be finicky when a box is added.but if its been done before w/ success,go for it.

Not all boats like ext boxes. No specific reason to change the prop. Only testing will tell.
