Need help setting up laser LTV

[84laserlady]

I have an '84 17' 6'' Laser LTV Kevlar hull, It came with a '87 X-flow 150 with a nose cone that runs flawlessly. I need some help with setback, motor height, prop and any bolt-on engine mods and I'm thinking some wedges since the LTV has so much negative transome angle to begin with. Any thoughts would be helpful, I'm going to start taking it apart soon.

a general, all around setup would be a 6 in plate, chopper style prop and prop height 1/2 - 1 in over pad. Should work ok with the 150.
