I've started a new project (I get bored easy). I want to put in an alpha drive in a 16 foot Carlson cvx. I have the boat all carved up and redesigned and while it's at this point, I'd like to know how high to mount the drive. I know that the cav plate should be at the bottom edge of the hull,,,,,,but the outboards run higher up to where the props center line is even with the bottom. The Carson Intruder has it's drive a bit higher,,,,,but how high is good and how high is too high? I got the complete alpha less engine for $250. I already have a SBC 355 in the shop, and the boat was free, so I'm still ahead of the game.
