It took me a long time to accept the whole jack plate concept, but, and this is going to sound like a me too moment, once I installed one on my Ranger, I became convinced. I was the same way, Tom. I just didn't think that a jack plate would be worth the trouble. Then when my buddy traded boats and the new one had a jack plate, I was convinced! We went out and played with it while watching GPS speeds. I want one!!! |

We went out and played with it while watching GPS speeds. I want one!!! I was forced into it, but it does a lot for the boat. Having said that, I'm not sure how it would effect a smaller engine on a smaller boat. Friend's boat is an Alumacraft 17' with a 135 Merc on it. It does alot of good with that, but I'm thinking that if he had a 70 or under it wouldn't see much difference. We were playing with it at about half throttle and it didn't do much. My boat is lighter than his w/ a 135 Unevinrude. |
