[QUOTE="openseat, post: 463914, member: 10379"] If it was me, I would go with very-well braced transom riser instead of a jack plate. You eliminate the setback issue, and only give up some of the range to adjust height. The cost in time and money won't be much different than your option of buying another jackplate and adding a plate to extend across the setback. Using a plate to extend the waterflow from bottom of the hull back to the foot isnt quite the same as the commonly seen splash plates, which instead sit a bit above the bottom to shield spray from the foot. Extending the bottom and changing the drain adds a little additional complexity to the part of the hull most likely to take hits. Good luck with the project. [/QUOTE]
