[QUOTE="riverbud55, post: 365149, member: 873"] If your planing on a jet,, ya don't want the 5'' offset,,, a jet needs to be feed the water off the bottom of the boat as close as possible to the foot of the jet,,, boats built for a jet many times have the bottom extend out past the transom as does my North River,,, few weeks back built this jack plate for my G3 1548 vbw,,, boat has a 15'' transom and has put a new 25hp etec long shaft on the boat,,,,, built it out of 1/2'' plate,,, weight was 16lbs when done,,, imo not to heavy at all,, matches up in size with the frame of the engine pretty well imo,,,,, just a note I own a fab shop with a lot of fancy tools,,, but a guy with a jig saw and a hand drill could do the same with a trip to the locale welder [/QUOTE]
