I know very little about boats, but I have just bought my first one.
My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of jackplates?
I do not have one on my boat and would one benefit me at all.
I have a 1998 Ranger R97 Sport (Fish and Ski). It is 19'2" and has a 200 Mercury EFI.
Im not into holeshots and running faster than anyone else, but are there any other reasons to have a jackplate?
Thanks to all that reply.

And...
Anything BUT a rite hite, don't get suckered into a cheap deal on something that can literally hurt you.
Rapid jack is best, then everything else falls between the two.

How much should I expect to put a 12" jack plate on a 22' center console with 225 Suzuki.
