If the boat is already dialed in correctly I would say no on the jackplate. Can you get 40-45 mph top end? When youre on plane, does your cavitation plate kick up a lot of spray or does it sit close to flush with the waterline? This really depends on your definition of "worth it" , very nice to have but nearly 1K buys lots of baits and gas.
It's not going to add much speed if any in this power range. I bet the main advantage would be shallow water holeshots.

If the boat doesn't have electric trim tabs, those would be worth it IMHO.
