[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 415521, member: 13975"] While I don't plan on addressing the potential need for a jack plate anytime soon as I have higher priority issues, I do retract my statement on the mini-jacker being a likely choice. Seems too 1 dimensional for the price. The Bob's Machine Shop mini manual jackplate seems much better as it has 3 different set-back settings plus height adjustment. Per my query to Bob's Machine Shop on it: [i]The jack plate has 2.5" of built in lift and another 1.5" of adjustable lift. We do not have any dealers by you, but you are welcomed to buy direct. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your interest in Bobs Machine Shop.[/i] Alternatively, the homemade route is appealing to me like the one in the link. I don't have the machining ability nor resources but have a few friends in the business who may can help if their employers policy allows it. Anyone know what the approximate stock material cost would be for this one? Hate to spend lots of money on material, the plans, plus labor and come out the same as just buying one.
