Default 23 Seacraft with hermco bracket

Hello, I have a performance question about a 23 Seacraft (early 80's) with closed transom, twin hermco flotation bracket, and twin Suzuki 140 four strokes. At rest the boat is fine and the bracket provides necessary flotation so it does not sit too low in the back. Bottom of bracket is about 3-4 inches above running surface of the hull so it does not extend the running surface of the hull.

Can anyone attest to how the boat will perform on plane while offshore (Gulf of Mexico -Texas coast). Most of the time I am restricted to slow speeds to avoid going airborn. My concern is that it will ride bow high at low speeds and increase my minimum planing speed. I want to avoid having to constantly adjust throttles trying to keep boat on plane and not go airborn. I am hoping the boat will ride on plane at 18 MPH or less (without tabs). I am probably asking for the impossible. Does anyone have experience with this setup offshore? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
