All boats will be about the same - 1/4"-3/8" depth tapering to 0.00" @ approximately 8" forward of the transom. You won't want to go deeper than 1/4" - 3/8" into the glass at the transom, as you might start getting into the coring/transom wood. I recommend you coat whatever you modify with resin to assure a seal-coat over what lies beneath. I had to do this to my first 28 to get my water pressure back when I went to 2.25" above the bottom with the gearcases.
