I would measure mine for you but the drives are not on the boat. I would definitely run big props on your boat if possible. The difference between them and bravo props is night and day, especially on Lake Michigan. Mine also sucks to get up on plane even with big props, I have 17/35 herrings

How far back from where the water starts rising?

I believe the general rule is 1" of water rise per 12" of set back, the ITS box is 7" of setback. I didn't measure how deep the notch is, I can do that tomorrow. As it is set up now, it walked on plane with 4 blades when I sea-trailed it. So it is certainly not overly aggressive as it is.

So it doesn’t take you 4 miles to get on plane like a fountain? Lol. Kidding aside, if you’re -2 now with 4 blades thru hub, you still may be too deep with the scx-4 and cleavers. It’s boring but probably best to talk to cigarette and find out what their X dim was with the nxt drives. While you’re at it find out if it’s the same as the #6 too.

I’ve ridden in a 700NXT 39, it didn’t just jump on plane, you got it rolling, they would break free and stir for a bit, then hook up and go
I doubt Cig was installing the ultra svelte NXT lowers with the gear cases down that low, so I’d say too that the - 4’s are the way you’ll have to go.

My boat, obviously a different bottom and brand entirely but with the -2’s I’m 1” above the bottom. With 15 5/8 5 blades it gets on plane reasonably well.
