I don't know much about the 22 Revenge but I've owned a few boats over the years and I have to say I would be very seriously concerned by that distortion of the transom while set boat is sitting still on dry land. Realistically transom a are built to be granite solid well in excess of the maximum recommended weight of the motor. Seems like that 12 inch jack plate is acting as a lever putting way more stress on the transom than it was designed for. Can't imagine what it would do to the boat while running in a chop. I would immediately remove the engine weight and get rid of the jack plate.
