Im thinking about repowering my grumman challenger 16x42 with suzuki 30hp remote steer with power trim. And debating on if id want a jack plate like yours. Do you think the jack plate is worth it.? Im running a yamaha 2stroke (carburated) with no power trim i get 28mph wot runs good i just want better fuel efficiency and power trim. No power trim sucks if your a bass fisherman. I cant source a power trim unit its an 86 yamaha built mariner ..if it pt even exist for that motor idk The balance and handling is great. I dont get porpoise at any setting and it runs nice and flat at any speed over 14mph. Porpoise is a deal breaker for me. Did the jackplate cause the porpoise?
It can if you don't trim the motor correctly...but that can happen without the micro jack plate... The jack plate does give me better and easier steering control of the boat that I didn't have prior. It did NOT give me any additional speed.
Hey any chance you could measure the width of the floor? I want to order the floor padding but dont know the width till my boats here. Thanks for your help
what are you buying? Recently I bought a 4x3 cattle mat and glued some carpet onto it...heavy enough not to fly out while trailering, but somewhere the dog can lay down not on hot deck on a hot day.
Nice jack plate you weren't kidding
How has the jackplate held up since you’ve had it? Been looking to get one of these and not too sure
@tazoutdoorsman it's held up good. No complaints. No additional speed, but maneuvering is better.

Really going to depend on your model. My floor is 52 1/2" with the other portion taken up by the rod locker
@@KevinsNorthernExposure awesome sir thanks that gives me a rough enough idea on what I need to order. I appreciate your time.

Not sure what you were referring to??
You clearly never purchased 1/2" stainless bolts before.
