    I have an Atlas on mine and I like it. I've owned the Bob's on another boat and liked it as well.

    Do you need the 14" setback with a hydraulic plate?

    Best hydraulic plate hands down is a seastar which is the old detwiler. Atlas are garbage. Bob’s would be my second choice!

    Someone needs to fill me in on Atlas being junk ? I have one haven't seen Any issues what is junk about it? I have had Merc paralift, cooks, Detwiler , The Detwiler needed repairs every season between seals, exact dial malfunction, going up and down on its own. Thats the only plate I had issues with.

    I went Bobs hydraulic jack plate and hydrilla gear mounts for the power poles, perfect fit, no hole drilling required. I don't know about the Atlas being junk, know a lot of guys running them with no issues and like them, I do know the Bob's raises like 100 times faster than the Atlas, if thats even a consideration. I like the faster jack plate personally, helps get in trouble faster....LOL

    This isn't apples for apples, because I'm running a 20xdc, but maybe worth checking into a little more, I was running a 12" manual, and went to a 14" Bobs hydraulic and it really hurt my hole shot, wishing I would of stayed with a 12". But again thats on my 20'er

    I have a Bob's 14" Hydraulic Plate on my 21 xrd and have no complaints, Keep it greased with a good quality waterproof grease and it is as smooth as silk, it is quick up and down.
