[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 191742, member: 5368"] Indeed it is... very fun. Thanks. I am planning on keeping it simple... You are right about the milk crate, it is what usually goes on my kayak or canoe for fishing. I have some thoughts rolling around in my head for some rod holders and a mount for my fish finder on the jon boat, but I am not going to deck it or anything. Thanks. I looked at the mini jacker, but it is a lot bigger than I need... I don't want to offset the motor any further back, just up. The 4" offset to that the mini jacker has would put more twisting stress on the transom from the weight of the outboard as well as moving the weight distribution of the boat even further towards the stern. I am going to bond aluminum in with the jack plate, it will be plenty strong when complete. Any other thoughts on the cav plate depth / porpoising issue before I finish this thing up? [/QUOTE]
