Hello im here for some advise advise or recommendations.

I have a 18' panga with a 1975 25 hp johnson. Im considering on buying a jackplate to improve the overall performance, im getting around 12 mph max speed. I know the outboard may be small for the panga, and also seems like the cav plate should be raise 1" or so, the outboard have an hydrofoil installed. I have played with the trim settings of the outboard.

This is the jackplate im thinking on buying.

This is the actual configuration.
