I see no disadvantage on the V other than it might make running the steering cable difficult if you're not using hydraulic steering. Look how your steering cable willl have to be routed. I plan to put one on my V when I get the chance. I put a jack plate on my old Mitchel but the boat was too small(17'), i made it run better on top end, but with the weight of that V4 looper on the back and the small size of the boat, it made it difficult to plane out and keep on plane. It ran real good on top end, but for what the boat was designed to do, it wasn't any help. I think a plate would help a boat like the V, but withy the lower HP you are using, it might not make that much of a difference
