I am looking for a cheapie 4" hydraulic jackplate . I have a aluminum boat with a 60HP yamaha I am needing it for. Looking for a used one, dont want to sink a lot of money into this little project. I have been told I need to save a lot of money for welding cracks!!! LOL!

Cha Ching.

ok, thanks Tommy.   And thanks Kernan!!  Now I need to start researching how to beef up the transom, and then worry about the jackplate after that's done     I will start gossipping with Tilton "Mr Cha Ching"... LOL! 

I WILL have a GANDY REPAIR KIT on board, as well Duct tape and bondo!!! LOL!

question: will bondo dry under the duct tape.. if an emergency repair is done on the water??? or will bubble gum suffice until the boat is back on the trailer?

I think I set the worlds slowest boat on plane record last sat!! I throttled it 100% and was moving at the speed of smell! I couldnt even catch up to the ducks swimming on the surface!

I did get a little humor out of pulling next to a catamaran racing boat with triple 350's on the back!! I pulled next to him and "hammered"(if you can call it that) the throttle a couple times!! I think we both got a kick outta that!! LMAO!
