This is pretty much the general consensus I found....
Mount them flush with the bottom of the hull, then tapering up anywhere from 1/2"-1" at the back of the pod. The less the taper, the less the bow will rise when getting on plane, but you will also loose the ability to get the bow up in rougher water. On the reverse side...a lager taper, the higher the bow will go when getting on plane, but you will still be able to get the bow up if necessary.

I designed mine with a 3/4" rise at the back.

That's what i am thinking...Maybe 7/8.
I will get into some 2+ foot waves from time to time, and I want to be able to get the bow up good and high.
