Jack plate?

[pour-me]

When I had my charger bass boat, I had a manual jackplate with 5" vertical adj. and 5" offset. It allowed my to dial in the optimum setting depending on prop used and the boat handled better.

I now have a 21' center console -- the boat is 2x heavier than my bassboat, and I'm wondering if there are still benefits on a heavier boat.

Thanks!!!

Yes there are gains to be had. Unless you really don't want to get the hyd. JP becuase of cost, it is the way to go. The changes you can make on the fly are well worth it.

A big thing is the weight distribution of your boat. Some boats the JP setback is just enough to make a good running boat have problems.
