Default X dimensions

I have a 27ft Excalibur speedster and i want to invest in a imco short lower unit. My x dimensions right now is 19 and wondering if any one have any suggestions on the either to get the 2" lower or one 1" cause i have a feeling the 2 might be too short.

I would buy -2 if you cant get it to work after a few prop changes buy a 1" spacer. but 19 is pretty high as is. that's 3.5 under the bottom.

Nice speed no chime walking.
Have you checked the bottom with a straight edge and sharpened up the chimes.
That could give you something.
Maybe look for a 1/2 spacer.
Gopro camera on the transom could be of some help to see what is going on.
What color is the boat. Excalibur speedsters are great boats.

I did a few of them. One I set at 19 and one I did 19.5 . I think thats the max you want to go without a box on it.
