how do you plan to make up for the 5 inch difference, even if you want to mount engine so the prop is one and a half inches above the keel you have to come down 3 and a half inches lower than normal. maybe i'm not thinking of it correctly, but it seems to make better sense to either get an extension kit for the engine to turn the SS into a LS or get a hull that requires a SS outboard.
