Wolf, this is just my opinion, but I don't feel you need a jackplate to fine tune the motor height...the holes provided will get you close enough without the additional weight of a jackplate...You sure won't regret the additional 5" of height on the transom...good move!...

Look thru the Seacraft forum for ideas on how to raise the transom...there are some of the best pictures and threads there on fiberglassing...

Wolf I raised mine on my 78 three years ago I believe. Like spare said you won't regret it. I don't have any pics of the process, but if I remember correctly I actually kinda formed it up with mat and roving. I used Arjay and have been very happy with the results.

You have to concider if you rase the transom 5 in. You'll have to either extend the shaft on the engin or just repower.
