    Top Plate on an Atlas Jackplate?

    Has anyone built a Top Plate on their Atlas jackplate kind of like you can get from UBP?

    I didnt figure an atlas was too popular on a bullet?

    Bullet recommended Atlas to me, not sure if they feel like they are better or if they got some kind of deal with Atlas, either way I have an Atlas now on my Triton with no regrets.

    Check with Chris Bailey. He may have the pattern.

    Atlas probably isn’t the best but definitely not the worst.

    I try CB marine if he hasn’t already he probably can make one.

    I’ve heard many reports of atlas being inferior but no one ever explains. I have had two on two different 21-10 bullets w/300XS SM and run over 70 every trip and never had any problems with either of them. Please explain!

    Being nothing but plastic holding the motor after a while they kinda get warped and wont move under power at a higher speed. They also have a lot of movement which is the type stuff that made them make the 6345 cylinder over the 5345.
