its a push/pull motion. its a direct link to the out board so it is really responsive. at speed it is really easy to turn. once i get the carpet done i will cut the bolts shorter. after that i think it will work out great.

the raised transom was my grandfathers doing. He put the fifty on it and raised it. I bought the boat from him and did the decks. ive hit 34 on the gps with me in it and full fishing gear. plenty fast for me, in this boat anyhow.

were did you get your jack plat and did you gain any speed with it. i have a sixteen ft jon with a fifty and want to get a few more mph out of her. thought a jack plate would help. any info would be a greatly apprciated

i like it just fine. its what was always on the boat so i just adapted it for my lay out. it sits your hand up kinda high but its not that bad. is kinda like riding a chopper with the high strung handle bars.

this is my project from stat to finish. I started with a 16ft lowe jon with a 54inch beam and stripped it bear. I decked it to the gun wall leaving a resesd area fot the cockpit. It has bin storage under the seats and two tackle storage areas on the front and back deck. it ilso has a rod locker...
