Default Frontier 2104 jack plate?
I know there are several members on here that are running Frontier 2104's. Wondering who is running jack plates and who's not? Those of you that are, which one are you running (brand, set back, etc.)? Share some performance numbers from owners with and without jack plates. What motor, props, etc. Pros and cons to your jack plate or lack there of. I have a Merc Pro XS 175, no jack plate (2nd mounting hole), 19P Tempest plus. 52-53 mph light load at 5900 rpm. 36 volt TM, power pole, and 5 batteries. 49-50 mph with 3 men and gear, full tank, lots of "beverages", and full tank of gas. All speeds on GPS.

Given that I have 2 more batteries and the power pole, our numbers are pretty damn close.

The 175 is pretty consistent on the 2104 if say. The guys with power poles and jack plates may be a mile or 2 slower depending on weight. But from what I gathered the suzuki 175 on the 2104 are btw 52-54mph with or with out jackplate power poles etc.
