I've got a 23' Daytona w/ an Evinrude V8. Currently the engine's setback 12" on a fixed plate. I'd like to add a 6" jackplate to the 12". Question is, would the transom handle this, considering the weight of the engine / would it help performance?

First check with Eliminator and then Screamandfly.com for answers.Probably get more and better results.It also is going to depend on your transoms condition and the motor/weight combo that the boat was originally built for.Those Evin V8's cant be light by no means! You better do you homework before you do anything or some serious damage could happen to that transom.
Thanks for the tip!
