    Atlas jack plate

    I currently have a 6" manual jack plate on my x19 with a 175 SHO. Would it be worth the investment to add at Atlas plate? If so, what size a 6", 8" or 10"?

    If you want maximum performance go with a 12”

    Will a longer jack plate result in the boat sitting more "bow up" at rest?

    It didn't mine. To the OP if I could afford it I would get a 10" Atlas.

    I currently have to trim the motor up real high to get maximum performance. But also get a lot of chine walk. Will a hydraulic plate allow me to raise the motor higher and not have to trim the motor up so much to get maximum performance? Will this also help with chine walk?

    I would say maybe. Lots of variables, but it should help on both.

    I ordered an X19 with 175 Sho and hydraulic jackplate. It came from the factory with a 10” Atlas.
