If the transom is solid now and you are going with a new outboard it may be worth going after raising it. I would personally work it in on a full rebuild of the transom as if you cut into it you may not like what you find forcing you to rebuild or sideline the hull. Few of these pre 80 model hulls have good transoms still that are original.
26.5 is a good number for modern outboards of the 25 leg tho
