A lot depends on the bottom design of the boat, but an aluminum boat, I would recommend starting with the center of the prop shaft at least 5 inches below the bottom of the boat. Trim makes a diiference too as does prop design and condition.I'm not too sure I'd want to cut the transom down too much, but the prop shaft does need to be at least 5 inches down.
