Is it safe to re drill,or will i end up on the redneck engineering thread.

And sooooo much for that idea.I can get it 2" higher,but regardless,the L shaped motor plate will still act as an h20 parachute at cruising speeds.I am starting to see why the original builder did what he did,especially with that Bob's jackplate with the flat plate across the bottom.This is one odd transome !

Could you put a piece off aluminum plate as a spacer to get your manual jack plate out far enough (to miss the trim) to raise it say 3 or 4 inches then lower the adjustable part down to were you want it.

I hope I'm making sense.

I just had it like that as a mock up.I can get it past the trim and lift it 2 inches.Anything after that it's right at the arch of the cap/shell with it's odd rake forward.It would have to go much higher then that to get the motor plate cleared of the water.

The pictures are deceiving i figure.There is only 13" from that trim to the top of the tunnel.The Bob's mounting plate is custom,it is only 10" high yet 18" wide.Funky setup to say the least.....and frustrating.

"Gotcha" just for the peeps that don't know.

LMAO ! No doubt ! I purchased the jack plate,jack plate extentions and a prop for this idea....Hey ! What's another $900 for nothing.

Leave it alone... the builder before ya knew....

[VooDooChild 1267]

Or i could build a bottom plate like the Bob's and make it a jackplate/trim tab 😂

Better call scott......Scott Porta. He can make what you need. It's only money.....​

[VooDooChild 1267]

I have to call them.There website says there lead time is 7 weeks out...That's the week i am moving back east.

[VooDooChild 1267]

I am honestly thinking about plating the bottom.It would be no different then what i have now,just 10" shorter.

I just wonder how they sold these and what the factory had in mind.I have searched and searched and can't even find 1 picture of this boat,no less any posts.
