Hotshot 35 quick question

[Suckfish]

Hey building a hotshot 35 purchased a tfl outboard. My question is the position of motor mainly how far down should the drive shaft be below the hull? Neither of the plans show. Thanks for any help

I've usually started with the center of the prop-shaft, level with the bottom of the sponsons.

Thanks for the reply, only other answer I could find was 1/4” above bottom sponsons. Thanks again

Prop choice, and how dry or wet the boat is riding, will contribute to final positioning.
