Nice boat. They need lots of setback. Jack plate will be great for adjusting. You said it already has tabs? Let's see a pic of the transom. They are heavy, and if yours has been retaining water it might really heavy.
You could start by running the prop shaft 2 inches below the pad, and work up from there in half inch increments, depending on the propeller. Something like a Trophy or even a Raker will be good to try for overall use. I'd guess you're going to use a 21 to 23" pitch, depending.
Weigh it. Inspect for rot. If it doesn't already have tabs, get it dialed in before you add them, and you may not want them. I would go without tabs on that boat. More pics!

That one has a 6" jack plate, The engine has built in setback of about 4" and a 7" notched transom. The sweet spot for these boats is around 16" of setback, give or take depending on engine weight, boat weight etc. Make sure your hull is straight! That trailer is dangerous.

Yes i have seen that Activator on Instagram and it is a cool boat!! I didn`t know that activator is also heavy boat. I thought it was same kind like Velocity so nice to know it works fine with hard set back. Really looking forward summer and get to test few props. But before that i have some few little things to do...for example wrapping the deck and creating a small wind shield. =)
