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.

Would you guys recommend this? Is it worth it?
This is the actual configuration.
