    Tracker V18 10” jack plate

    I’m looking at a V18 on Craigslist. It’s got a 150 opti with a 10” jack plate. I’m weary on such a big jack plate on this boat. Also, the motor was just gonna built by blackbird out of PA, which I’ve heard nothing good from. Any advice? Here’s the listing https://hartford.craigslist.org/boa/...893485020.html

    I’ve seen blackbirds work. I wouldn’t buy a weedeater he worked on.
    No joking no exaggeration.
    I saw a merc xr6 he rebuilt. Not one gasket all pookie.
    Just no.

    10" jack plate on anything that says tracker in a Big No-NO, tracker will not warranty any of there aluminum boat's with a jack plate. there are a few with 4" and 6" that have not had any problems with them but a 10" with a 150hp is a little much, and it's way over HP too
