[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 275192, member: 7544"] I don't know this to be a fact but as I understand it, a jack plate it's self will not make a boat any faster. But, if your motor can not be raised to the proper height to achieve minimum drag, then adding a jack plate would facilitate raising the motor and making the boat faster. So in this case, raising the motor is what made the boat faster, and the jack plate was the method of raising the motor. One thing that a jack plate does do is to move the motor back which allows you to raise the motor even more and that allows a boat to operate in shallower water. [/QUOTE]
