[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 307542, member: 10154"] Thank you! That is what I was looking for! I have a manual jackplate with 4" setback...i am adding float pods on the transom and thinking about extending the tunnel/bottom of the boat back far enough to get the jet foot under the tunnel like you did but I will have to extend about 4" further back. In theory it should work fine. What do you think? I really like the idea of having the motor a bit further back anyway so I can clear the larger sized Boyd's Custom float pods. It is going to be a poling skiff so I need the extra floatation to float my 220# and my ~250# motor. Do you think there would be any negative effects of extending the tunnel and bottom like that? I figure that i can just make my tunnel 20" long starting at the jet foot (~8" wide foot x 2.5= 20" long tunnel) and 8" wide foot x 1.75= 14" wide tunnel at the top. The only thing about the width is my strakes (ribs) on bottom are 12" between them and 14" center-to-center. [/QUOTE]
