I was just curious as to the manufacturer recommendations.
I'm glad you know that every boat and motor combination may be different and that you must sea trial the boat to get the engine height just right.

A friend of mine has a 1996 Outrage 17' II and no one can sit in the back jump seats without getting completely soaked. Ok on a hot day... :-)
However, he knows the engine is way too low so we are going to raise it up one of these days.

Sure, let us know what you find out and at what the optimum height is for you.
One hole up, two holes up, etc... on the engine bracket mounting holes.
