I have an original 10" jackplate from Gambler that broke during a trny. I want to replace it with a Rapid Jack, but not sure if I need to use another 10" or should I go to another size. I run a 2001 Mercury 225 EFI in this boat. If anyone has some insight for me I would greatly appreciate any advice.

I have a 10 inch that came off mine (set back) and a 12 inch rapid jack (magnum) that was used for a year. Make you a good price on either.
how did the 12" work on your boat? what color is the 12"?
Unpainted, it's the same as on it now. Just wound up with two by accident. He reccomended me to go 14 inches on the 209. Works good. What bolt pattern do you have on the transom ? Not sure if this is the one on it now or the spare but they are the same.
How much do you wanr for the jackplate? If you are running the 14" on your 209 now and if so, where do you have the prop shaft vs. the bottom of the pad? how is your speed and what hp motor are you running? Not sure of the bolt pattern, but there was an original 9.5" gambler jackplate on the boat.

81.3 GPS with the old 225 promax, it has a 250 xb on her now that probally wont ever see 80 again but i like the way the 3l holds the boat up. Dont have this motor set up yet, i'v had maybe two full days on the water in the last 1 1/2 years so there has been little time to play. I will take $250/plus shipping for it and i think i paid around $400.00 and some change. But it has the gambler bolt pattern and not the standard pattern. $75.00 for the old offset (10 inch) plus shipping.
I will find out about the bolt pattern tomorrow. If I have the correct pattern, I will take the rapid jack magnum. The pic shows u-bolts for tie down straps, does this one have those on it? Let me know how you want me to pay. I can do personal check, cashier's check, paypal, etc. I live in greenville, nc. Let me know the total including shipping. Thanks, gene
Holes are drilled but no u-bolts. Also there will be two holes at the bottom where i had the skimmer mounted.
Do you know what the distances are for the gambler holes? The hole pattern on the old gambler jackplate is 12" apart left to right and 8.25" apart in height. If the hole patterns match I will take the jackplate. Please call or text me @ 252-902-6134 if you can so we can make arrangements for payment and shipment. If you call and I don't answer, please leave me a message and number and I will call you asap.
