I have a 96 20XD with a 98 225 ProMax. It has been sitting garaged for a while, a few years, due to shoulder surgeries, and career changes. I'm getting ready to start getting the engine squared away from sitting, and thought that the boat/hull is now as dry as it has ever been since it left the factory. May be the best time ever to remove the jack plate and reseal.
My question is: It came with a 9-1/2" Rapid Jack. I've had no problems with it, but if I'm going to pull it off, it would be the perfect time to go to a 12" or a 14" Rapid Jack. Probably better too if power poles are ever installed later.
Has anyone gone 12 or 14 and noticed enough performance increase to make it worthwhile?
Thanks.
