I'm going through an '89 361V with a Johnson GT150. Hasn't been in the water for 7 years. Luckily, it has been stored indoors. Long story with which I will not bore you.
I have to pull the motor to replace the tilt tube and possibly the steering, so this would be the time to add a jack plate.
Anyone have any experience with adding a jack plate to a 361V? Is the transom strong enough? Is the hull conducive to taking advantage of a jack plate? What set back (6", 8", etc.)?
I plan on running a 24p Raker or Raker II (have both, and both have been restored).
Is it worth the effort and expense?
Thanks in advance.
