12” plate on a 461? Anybody tried it?

[Birdboatman]

Curious if anybody here actually had or has a 461 with a 12” jackplate? If so, how does it do and would you go back to a smaller one?

With most Ranger's have built in setback most will run 6 -8 inch plate.Gains after that would be minimal at best.

I have a 481vs with a 6" plate works good. Think a 12" would be a lot.

I'm going with the Hydrodynamics Rapid Jack Magnum and 6". I figured this is an old boat, don't want to stress the already extended set back built into the boat and most guys are running mid 60's with a 6' jack plate.
I'll let you all know how it turns out.

You are purchasing the best built and easiest to adjust manual jackplate on the market !!

And I'm buying it from Tim "Fastbass Marine" Powell. I know he knows and sells quality. I know it's the best. I wish I had the money for Hydraulic, but don't have to have it right now.
