Definitely low on RPM which will be the main issue.
If the plate is that low, it can easily come up close to 3 inches which would get you roughly 300 rpm give or take a few. No doubt it is too low.
If you go jackplate, you'd probably be able to come up a touch higher as well as putting the motor back a few inches will put the prop in cleaner water, and since the water fills the hole the boat made passing over, it can naturally be higher out of the water.
Guessing this is a 50hp 4 stroke, which if my research is correct, max rpm is 6000, so even with a jackplate, I have a feeling you would still be low by about 400 rpms, or roughly 2 inches in pitch.
