Jack Plate questions

[Camaroboy]

I currently have a 6 inch jack plate and i am considering a 12 inch one whats the pro's and cons for the difference. I got a 05 201 pro with a 225. Would it help me get a few more mph going to a bigger one...

Not a few more, no.

Maybe one, but remember you're still running a 225 on a boat rated for a 250. You're not going to see a huge increase going to the 12" plate. Every couple of inches may get you a few tenths.

Pros: Be able to raise the motor higher.

Cons: Might lose a little holeshot due to the larger setback with a 225.

Jason is 100% right on with his advice.

Well my current one needs replaced im just trying to decide to go to a 12 or 8 with a 225 motor....

[Jason Phillips]

Up to you. On a 201 with a 225, I would just go with the 8".
