Jack Plate

[The Job Site]

I have a 1990 Mercury Black Max 200hp. My question is should I get a stationary jack plate to raise the motor up to not have so much prop down below the boat. Right now I have a 23 pitch prop and she takes a while to plane and my trim after I get running will not trim up to well. Only to a certain point. Then I have to slow down and trim up then start again with trim up high to get Faster Knts ????
