If the engines were raised, that would reduce drag. But changing the transom to acomodate that is a ton of work.

Damn, big blocks in a Spyder.

I have seen a few boats with around a 1" thick piece of wood used a spacer for the engine. Some of them seemed to have come that way from the factory but have no way to confirm, and others to compensate for a rotten and sagging stringer.
