That is a very sharp looking jack plate, the craftsmanship is impressive. Did you pick up speed and did it affect the ride. I have 4 pieces of 5" x 5" x 1/2" alum. angle that I intend to have welded together to create 2 pieces of channel that will be 5" x 10" x 1/2" , I may trim it down to 8" for an 8" set back. I would imagine that the motor (75hp Honda) could be raised 4" if it is set back that far, what do you think
