I'm getting ready to switch to a Rapid Jack jack plate. What size is recommended for my boat?

Call Steve at Hydrodynamics and ask him. He'll give you the proven size and setup.

I emailed Hydrodynamics asking for a recommendation. I only got a generic one line reply "most choose either an 8 or 10". What is the pros and cons between a 6",8", and a 10" jack plate. Do you lose some hole shot while gaining top end speed? How much gain between sizes? Thanks for any advice.
Pick up the phone and call Steve. He'll give you the details of which does what.
Every boat is different, and every boat reacts differently.

Put an 8" or a 10" on it. Either will work and there isn't any difference in the performance.
Thank You Leon Pugh
I have a Atlas 10" on a TR-20X. That was what the size suggested when I purchased mine. Boat originally had a 6" manual jackplate from the factory.

2016 Harris Cruiser 24-2016 Mercury150XL-Serial # 2B232319
Both are different boats from the TR 20 he has put the 8" on it.
Thanks guys for the replies. I called Steve at Hydrodynamics and ordered a 8" Rapid Jack Magnum.
Are you putting poles on it...because if you are you need the spacer mounts that go between your motor and the Rapid Jack Magnum and if you want 8" of set back you better have Steve build you a 7" because the spacer mounts are 1.5" which will give you 8.5" of set back...if you use them with an 8" you will have 9.5" of set back.
I'm not putting poles on it, so it doesn't affect the setback.
that 1.5" of extra set back wouldn't make any difference.
