    Hydraulic jack plate on 08 201

    Thinking about replacing my 6 inch slide master with a hydraulic plate. Which brand would you go with and how many inches (8 or 10)?

    I am not sure on brand of jackplate. I would go with the 8" plate. I went from a 6" fixed to a 8" fixed and the handling and performance is much better, Less chine walk.

    I’d do an 8’’ Atlas. Don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

    I went from a 6" manual to a 8" Atlas and have been very happy.

    I run a 10 inch bob's on my 06 and the setback makes it so much easier to drive in my opinion. I can let go of the wheel at 72
