[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 445659, member: 11641"] I see the monster setback plates on the big bass boats up here in NE Tx all the time. Most run 10-12". That being said, I agree with the concern about hanging the weight that far back on a transom that might not be able to handle it. Leverage principle. The farther back you move it, the more stress it will put on the transom. And if you're running a long shaft motor on a short transom boat, then you'll likely end up with the plate maxed out, which adds a little more stress. If it will handle the weight though, it will make that boat feel like it's 2' longer. If you are getting some setback with the T&T, can you just build up the transom height to where you need it without adding even more setback? [/QUOTE]
