Good question I'm not sure and can't find a comparative listed thru Stainless Marine. On the the last outboard build John used their standard 23" twin bracket, which overall worked well with motors bolted directly to it, though had some interference problems with the k planes. On mine, initially john wanted to build a coosa and fiberglass box. Even started a mock up. The double jack is 150 lbs and 44" wide and 7" setback in addition to raising the motors 3" All while trying to keep 40 max wide on the transom, Considering all the limitations seems a 12" custom bracket is what we'll end up going with so 19" overall setback. here's a pic of the last setup. |
Do you already have the jack plates?

Nice. If you didn't, I was going to recommend looking at a Porta bracket. Set back and jack plate combined.

AZMIDLYF I have seen those but I thought the double jack was more robust also the ability to trim/jack both outboards in unison was to me, the key and beauty of the Bob’s double jack. Thanks four your suggestion. |
Thanks Rick I look forward to the updated photos. I wasn’t aware but in conversation with Dan from rolls axle trailer he’s extending the forward/aft I beams further back than he used to, the He has gone from 5 inch to 6 inch aluminum I beams as well, also with additional crossmembers extending to the end of the rear bunks for better support. I also went with 15 inch E rated tires, as I did have issues with the 14’s on the last trailer. |
Thanks for the pictures Rick. I spoke with Dan at Rolls Axel today. He will be coming back to move the Axle(s) back. I texted you a picture and you’ll see the current rear axle is where the front axle was on my old boat. By moving the front axle behind the other we should have the same set up as last which towed fantastically. The question now with motors and bracket hanging off the transom as opposed to the I/O should we consider moving both axels back further? JC did say on the last outboard build the axels were centered where the step is. He says he has a picture. From the picture above we may be there with flipping the front axle to the rear. From the picture I’m not sure if the boat needs to go any further. forward. |
Gary you're going to be very happy with the Bob's double jackplate... I am with mine.
