    Thanks i really like it too. The seastar jackplate lifts 5.6” and does the entire move in 8 seconds. The feature that really put me onto these is the protap. I can program the max lift position i want and it will return there when i tap the button twice. I can also program lift increments so one tap could be one inch. Theres more features too i cant recall but i had issues with my first stream paddle wheeling which freaked me out a lot. It happened when i jacked the plate too high and i had blowout a few times on that rig too. Mind you i was stream green so i was doing things i shouldnt trying to figure it all out. Anyways i looked at all the jackplates the market had to offer and liked this one best. Seems ultra rigid too which is nice

    Edit for gratuitous pic. I would love to leave it as it is with no rubrail its looks so clean and tight but thats never going to survive in my world so the ranger rub rail install is coming soon

    Thats an awesome feature. I'm looking for a plate with a bit more lift for my stream. My other option is a 15" mid and I don't even want to get that involved lol

    Ya i hear you. I did some measuring and mounted it high as i dared. The lower will be about 2” below the pad where it is now and i can jack it higher than need be. Hopefully it all works good, no turning back now lol. The second choice was the Atlas. I liked these two because 4” setback. I did consider building my own 2” set back jackplate but didn’t want to put more time into this build delaying launch by a good margin too

    Those SeaStar plates look really stout. I like that you marked the bolts as well. Never knew about that tap feature, thats awesome!

    Rub rail installed. Quite a bit of effort to get that sucker on there. Soaked it in a 45gal drum of hot water for 30 mins to soften it. Still had to wrastle this sucker over the lip we were sweatin bullets. Looks ok, i much prefer the look without but function is definitely there this is a beefy rub rail. Ranger bass boat rail for anyone curious got it at Great Lakes Skipper

    Spring around the corner back to this project. Made a new frame for the rear bench out of coosa today. Have to tab it in and mount the seat panel but it’s a start
