prop shaft height on 38 TG IV SSM rerig
Boats a '92 TG flat bottom notched transom and getting rigged with IV SSM's on boxes 1.5 ratio. Locally, I have a friend rebuilding everything and getting some info on shaft height. He's thinking at least 1-1.5" above the planing surface but thats an educated guess as of now. So I guess what I'm looking for is a second opinion so when we get together I already have an idea of were i should be. Also if anyone has experience with this set up, what a good starting point for props would be. I'm only running 500's but down the road will be blown (750-800hp range) so a used set of four blades will have to suffice til then. Thanks

That's a heavy boat, mild thunder will chime in I'm sure, he runs his 4's on a 38 fountain 1.5" below. I'd say with the boxes about even with the running surface. I have a jig for drilling and cutting the transom for Ssm's if you want to rent/ borrow it.

But you can always space down, going up is tough.
