Several years ago I dropped the shaft on my Bruno 35. There seems to be quite a bit of discussion concerning too little clearance for proper diameter propellers on the old Brunos. Mine had a notch for the skeg bar and, get this, a slab of white oak 2" X 4" X the length of the notch between the bar and the keel notch. No big deal to drop it as long as you have a little room to raise the front of the engine about 3/4" - 1" plus the center bearing needs to be lowered 1-1/2" - 2".
