For an underpowered boat, it can be a godsend. It will help you get up on a plane which in tough conditions is priceless.
If it's powered and propped correctly, it can hurt your top end speed.
I know lthey advertise fuel economy but from experience...it's only true in very limited circumstances.

I had one on my skeeter when I bought it because the dumbass before me didn't know how to drive it. He said it was the only way he could get it to stop porpoising. I took it off and threw it in the trash

I've seen it help on a boat that had a short shaft motor but needed a long shaft.
So IOW, yes it helps in certain situations.
Drilling holes in the cavitation plate isn't all that big of a deal. If you decide to take it back off you can fill the holes with JB weld.
