I used the Bob's 14" with great results. You will not need the extra jack, all in one and if you need a few more " just put the 2" spacers they sell!

If $ is no object for an awesome bracket this is the Porta Bracket.

this is what I'm going with…. just need to get around to installing it !
light and strong and relatively inexpensive, easily machined with wood working tools
you can find sizes to 12" maybe bigger if you search ?

Got you! I'm at 21" myself. 14" setback with the 7" notch.
If you end up going with the S/Marine make sure to use rubber "O" rings on the saddle bracket bolts to keep the water out. Sealant alone never worked for me.

I have seen a number of boats with this type. They come in all difference lengths. Commonly called Gill bracket.

Wildman is a dealer for Hydro Dynamic I believe. Check out some of the ones he has had on the checkmates he sells.
.
Saw this at Diamond Marine.
I believe you can custom order the offset size for your particular application.

---------------------------------------
for smaller setbacks, these plates can be used:
