I have a 1999 Triton, TR21 with a 2016 Mercury 250 Pro XS with two 10 ft talons.
What size atlas jack plate should I purchase?

I have a 10 Atlas but I'm running a 250 SHO on a 2008 TR21-X HP so don't know if that would help.
10" is the best size for your combination.
Thx
Savage probably knows better than I, but back in 2002 while I was at the factory in Ashland City I asked about setback. Their guys said they had tested all different sizes and 6 was recommended. 8 was Ok they said but not much difference from the 6 to warrant paying extra and 10 they said the fuel economy began to drop off. I guess its all a trade off on what you want, but they said 6 was all around best setback for the early model year Tritons. Probably not the same for the X, XS, TrX, etc.

With the load of the Talons I wouldn't run more than an 8" plate.
I have tested both 8" and 10" plates on my TR-21.
10" is the fastest....
8" is slightly slower...
Thank you everyone. I ended up with the 8”. I will provide feed back once it’s all mounted.
I am following this because I have a 2004 TR20X and getting a new Atlas JP for it. I am waiting for my new Mercury ProXS 225 4-stroke w/ DTS to come in late winter or early spring to put the combo together. Not sure which size JP I should get either... Was going to go with 8" like Pablo did so any feedback is appreciated.

I run a 10" & it works just fine. Great hole shot & top end but I run the 250 SHO. I don't know if the '99 has a different hull than mine.
The newer boat are coming with a 10” .
