Hi!
I hope you are well.
I have ordered a 450R for my Phantom 25. It will arrive in October this year.
Currently I have a 400R mounted to a Gorilla Jackplate with 4,25 inch setback. The weight of the 450R is almost the same as 400R, but the torque is much stronger.
The Gorilla is solid as rock, but I think i should buy a newer jackplate rated for 450 hp plus. What kind of jackplate do you reccommend? Setback 4-4,5 inches.
The built in setback of a 400R is approx 4 inches. The AMS 300R has a built in setback of 5 inches. Do you know how much built in setback there is on the 450R?
Top speed with the 400R is 89 mph at 7,060 mph using a Max5 25. Estimated top speed with the 450R is 96 mph using a Max5 27 pitch. So the hardware need to be top notch :)
Take care and thanks !
