H22 JACK PLATE! | Ep088 | Off The Clock with B Scott

Most boats don’t struggle because the driver lacks courage; they struggle because the jack plate is fighting pressurized water. We pull back the curtain on the NEW H22 jack plate and its 22-degree underside that lets spray clear the plate, cuts drag, and frees the prop to do real work. From the first throttle hit to big-end speed, we explain how a small change under the transom fixes the noisy problems—rooster tails, bow lag, and over-trim—that owners spend months trying to tune away.

We break down the tradeoffs that matter: setback versus leverage, plate mass versus hole shot, and why built-in height beats chasing engine bolt holes. You’ll hear how we tested across aluminum and fiberglass hulls, what “running on the hull” actually means, and why efficiency improves when the boat lifts on its deadrise instead of tilting into dirty water. We also get practical about rigs that carry real gear: trolling motors, power poles, big graphs, and the switch from AGM to lithium. The H22 and the HB22 breakaway use optimized weight and optional counterweights so you can fine-tune balance for fishing weekends, duck seasons, or sandbar cruises without re-rigging your life.

If you’ve thrown wedges and props at a stubborn setup, this conversation shows a cleaner path: fix the water, place the weight, and let the hull breathe. We talk battery placement, a new belly tank that frees stern space, and how moving a few pounds at the transom can out-muscle 80 pounds up front. The payoff is speed you can feel, steering that calms down, and stability that holds when the water turns to glass or chop. Ready to make your boat faster and easier to drive without adding horsepower? Hit play, then share your rig details with us so we can help you dial it in.

Why The H22 Exists

SPEAKER_00 0:00

It's 5 o'clock and you're off Cogabee Scott. Today we're going to talk about the age 22. And with that, I got Daryl Moore with me and Tim Scott. And guys, you have been tearing us up about this. What is this jackplate? What makes it different? Well, we're going to get into that. And also, we got Pro Guy batteries here. New technology in the battery world makes it a lot easier. New stuff coming out with Havoc Boats. But before we get into it, guys, make sure you leave a like, subscribe, hit the bell for notifications. Let's dive in. So we're going to get right in and talking about the H22 jack plates that you guys have seen and been asking about. We've had tons of questions, tons of interest on this jack plate, and it's for good cause. This thing right here is industry changing, and we're really excited to tell you guys about it. But let's start with what we got to offer at this moment. So right now we got the H22 in an 8-inch and a 10-inch solid jack plate. And Daryl's going to spin it around so you can see it right there. There's a lot of technology that goes into this jack plate. It solves a lot of industry issues that are problems for boats across the board. Wouldn't you agree?

SPEAKER_03 1:04

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, just the jack plate itself, uh, with the angles on the bottom side and top side and the weight of the jack plate helps keep the boat balanced on certain applications, you know. Um it it gives it it gives somebody some options. It does.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

And what you just said about the angles on the bottom side, let's talk about that first. People are asking what's different about it. So the noticeable first thing you can tell is the bottom of the jack plate is 22 degrees. And the reason we did that is to allow water that comes off the bottom of the boat, because you know it water is pressurized when a boat runs over water. It pressurizes the water, so as soon as a boat runs it over, it shoots up in the air. Well, if you don't have enough clearance on your jack plate, it's gonna hit the jack plate. And when it hits the jack plate, you have problems.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

Especially when you're running under 50 miles an hour. Correct. You know, that's that that's what people don't understand. It's it's a speed related issue. It is. So, you know, uh what we found out is like if you if you're running over fifty miles an hour, the the clearance of the water spray Um is is pretty pretty far back. But if you if you go with 10 inches to get the weight of the balance to boat, that's where you have to be. So you have to raise the bottom angle up to get that clear. Right. And that's what we ran.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

And we ran into issues with this. And we knew it was a big problem, and it's not a big problem just for aluminum boats. I mean, bass boats have these issues. How many bass boats you see, you know, ripping down the lake and they got water spray just violent everywhere?

SPEAKER_03 2:32

Or a big rooster tail that's 200 feet up in the air. Yeah, it's just not right. Maybe not 200, but you know what I'm saying. It's way above the cattle and where it should be. That's right. And you know, a lot of people are using wedges, you know. You know, I'm using five degree wedges on my bass boat to get some more positive trim out of the boat, but what's causing it, what's causing me to have to over trim to lift the boat? Is the boat too heavy or is just a balance point wrong in the boat?

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Yeah, balance point and and water pressure.

SPEAKER_03 2:56

Right. That's what it all comes down to. So so really what we're trying to address is is what's causing these issues and try to work around it.

Speed, Spray, And Water Pressure

SPEAKER_00 3:04

Absolutely. And especially if you got water coming off the back of the boat hitting the jack plate, as you know it's it's forcing the jack plate up with water pressure. Well, you know, if the back goes up, the front goes down. And that's where you start running into plowing issues and stuff like that. And we noticed that with my bass boat.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

Yep. You know, once we put the H22 on the uh my bass boat, it took all the water drag off the jack plate, then we got we ran into another problem, and that's what we're addressing now with the uh lithium batteries versus AGMs.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

So I'm gonna ask the question that everybody wants to know. What you got? What's it gonna cost somebody? What's let's just start off with the number one question you're gonna get. What's it?

SPEAKER_00 3:42

So you're looking so it's very similar to like any Bob's extreme jack plays. You're looking at like 2200, whatever, somewhere around there.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

Yeah, 2200 MSRP.

SPEAKER_00 3:51

But really what makes it different is what you're getting in this jackplay is you're getting the the hydraulic system in it. You're getting the better angle on the bottom, which is improved, and it it works across the board with many different models and and different boat brands, even. And you're getting the height in the back.

SPEAKER_03 4:08

Which is which is important on the height because if you see I mean mean, if you go through Facebook right here and you start looking at all these boats, I mean, there's a lot of motors mounted in a third hole, second hole, and you got you know, you got six, seven inches of travel, vertical travel. Correct. So why are people actually raising their motors up on their plates? I don't understand it. So, you know, we actually built that height into the jack plate. You know, this thing is designed to put your motor directly down on the plate and use the elevation of the jackplate itself to get your height. And, you know, um, you know, we've been working on this probably, I don't know, two or three years. We started messing with it at Pinesville races with counterbalances, you know, you know, you know, weights.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

And there's pictures somewhere of us with some goofy looking stuff that people just absolutely roasted us for. I mean, yeah, we get roasted all the time. All right, guys, we just hit over 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. Guys, we appreciate each and every one of you guys and everybody that's watching this thing. Now, let me tell you, it shows that 75% of you guys are watching aren't subscribed. So it helps us out a lot. If you subscribe, hit the bell for notifications and share it to your friends because guys, you could be missing out on things that you might enjoy to watch. Now let's get right back into it.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

You know, because we're always willing to try something and everybody wants to argue about it. But the deal is that, you know, weight on the transom boats matters. To balance the boat is kind of like a car tire. I've said it a hundred thousand times on social media, and um, you know, we you know, it's just it's the same story. A lot of people just don't understand how a boat works.

Price, Features, And Built-In Height

SPEAKER_00 5:39

It's all about balance. And like you were saying with the tires, a good, it's a good uh example. You know, you can go buy the most expensive tires you can find, but if the weights aren't in there balancing the tire out, they're all gonna run like shit.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

Yeah. Yeah. So so so they say a guy goes to a dealer, right? Right, and he just says, I'm gonna buy, say he's going there, he's on a budget. Say he's a 22-year-old, just got a college or college, just working, right? He's gonna buy a VJ, VJST, you know. And so you would tell him to go get this jack plate, and he would have a pretty good running boat for the most part, just by putting it on.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Absolutely. No, like like like you just said, you know, people going to the lot and just buying a out-of-the-box running setup, you know, even with the eight-inch, you know, the weight of these jack plates, they're heavy enough to give your motor enough leverage to actually power through and and lift the nose to run.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

You know, you know, what's really good too, we you know, we went to Bob's with this problem, and Bob's helped us, you know, develop uh some products for our boats. And it's not just for our boats, it's for all boats. Yeah. They all run the same, you know. And it doesn't matter what brand it is, but um we started work working with Bob's, and it's like, what is the leverage weight of a 10-inch, and can we put it in a seven-inch? And and they started to to run programs and calculate it, yeah. And calculating different sizes, different weights, and we realized that uh all jack plates may or may not need to weigh different weights for certain applications. Absolutely. So, you know, Bob's super pumped up about this. Um, they're seeing it, they're seeing the new technology, they're seeing a new you know, new way of building jack plates, and I think it's exciting for the whole industry.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

It is, because like like we said earlier, you know, your bass boats had issues running, you know, and it's like the thing about boats in general is you're running on water. Water is the consistent part of it, right? Right. So you're dealing with water pressure. If you can clean up and run efficient with your motor and get the most out of your motor, you're gonna push every boat to its limits.

SPEAKER_03 7:35

Yeah, I think you're right. And you know, and I and I also think that um, you know, we don't just build a model to sell a bottle, we build uh around a problem. That's right. You know, I think that's what makes us so successful. But the um, you know, the main thing about it is that like this this rolls into the bass boat industry. I mean, these bass boats, let's let's face it, I mean, these bass boats are super, super, super heavy. You know?

SPEAKER_01 8:02

I think like you look at the video up there, what's that Marsh Runner Mark One with a four-stroke 50 Mercury? And these are four strokes. Yeah. So you're talking about something that has less power than a lot of guys running two strokes. You know, you're able to get a boat that's gonna a motor's gonna be reliable and get it to run like this.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

I mean, you're gonna go to your dealership and you're gonna say, hey, I'm getting ready for the sandbar season. I want to hang out with my buddies, I wanna, I wanna, me and my old lady, we want to ride down a river and have a good time. We want to clean up and ride good, but we but we just want to cruise the rivers. Yeah, I mean that but I mean, out of the box, that's what you're gonna get with a stock four stroke. You can't even you can't even over trim it.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

With a four-stroke, you can't even over-trim it. No, it's not gonna get sketchy.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

And with two people even in the boat, we we've tested this with the 1760 VJ series. We had a 70 Yamaha on it, and dad was running the boat, and we had a cameraman in the boat, and you know how it is when you get two people moving around on the boat, you know, it's wishy-washy. Well, I witnessed dad driving this boat and the cameraman go from the front deck and walk back to the rear deck, and the water never changed out the back of the boat.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

Yeah, yeah. That's me just means the boat's balanced and the jack plate's doing its job, it's keeping everything on point. You know, and it's it's like a lot of people don't understand that's smooth water too. That's no chop. Yeah, it's glass, baby. You know, uh, once that water gets in chopped, but you know, you see the you see the separation between the water column and the and the bottom of the jack plate, that's because we changed the angle of the jack plate. But if it was rough water, it would be a lot more.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

It would it would be even closer to touch.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

So so people don't realize this is smooth water. This is a perfect application here. Like how many boats will lift and run like that on smooth water with a four-stroke. You know, that's a YBS prop. It's nothing special. Obviously, we can get a worked prop, you know, and get uh quite a bit more bow lift if we need to. But what's more importantly is the lift of the hull is off the dead rise of the hull and not necessarily tilting.

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Yeah.

Balance, Leverage, And Jack Plate Weight

SPEAKER_03 9:52

And you know, you don't want your boat to tilt where it creates more pressure on the bottom of the hull.

SPEAKER_00 9:57

You just want to surface up and run efficient.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

Because you have some guys on social media where they're like, you know, shoving the back of the boat down. Yeah, and that's what we're trying to avoid.

SPEAKER_03 10:04

Yeah, that's what you don't want. You don't want to push water past the back of your boat because what that does is it generates water pressure and it beats the bottom of your boat up severely. You know, it's no difference than going knee boarding and dragging your foot off the back of the kneeboard. It won't last long until you pull your foot back on top of the knee board.

SPEAKER_02 10:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:22

You know, and and and you know, a lot of folks, it looks cool on TikTok and everything, guys, but you know, if your boat's not rising up on the dead rise of the hole and and tilting, you know, you got 20, you know, the transit's on 20 degrees, you got your motor tilt to the motor. It only takes a little bit of a trim to actually get your boat to run right. Right. And if everything is balanced, it don't take much.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Explain to somebody, because somebody's gonna be watching this, what's the dead rise of the hole? Like, I feel like that's so somebody's gonna be like, well.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

So right here in this video we're looking at, that is a 14-degree bottom boat. Right right there. And like you just brought up, dead rise of the boat. So on an eight-degree boat, you technically have less clearance from the running surface of the boat to where the bottom of that jack plate is. And on bass boats, for example, that are deeper V'd, you'd have more clearance because they would with power rise up on the V and that jack plate would be higher above the water.

SPEAKER_03 11:10

If the boat's not too heavy with AGM batteries.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

If you're able to run it up on the performance.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

You know, that's a lot of problems with bass boats. I mean, there's only a few selection of bass boats out there to actually clean up. I mean, bass cat's one of them. You got Allison's and you got, you know, ballistic hall that we run it now. So with that being said, though. You know, Phoenix cleans up pretty well. It does. It's all about it's all about the weight of the boat. It is. Going through the water column.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

But what makes this jack plate so special is it's built with the basically the least amount of V designed into it. So with an eight degree bottom boat, you still, even though it's the closest to where the jack plate would touch, it still has clearance. Yeah. And that alone right there solves 90% of people's issues or running.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

So how much is it how much is this? I'm just asking a question, I would think. Right, right, right, right. So what's the what is the price of a set of wedges? Throw that out. What do you what's the ref for a famous RP? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

What do you think we we think wedges probably cause? I don't know. I don't believe in wedges, but wedges are definitely band-aids. And and a lot of times when you see people putting wedges on boats. I mean I'm thinking they're 30, 40 bucks or something like that. A lot of times they're fishing, they're they're they're trying to fix water issues. Yeah, so I'm just gonna get it. Either balance issues or they're trying to trim past, you know, the fact that they got water built up on the back of the boat pressurized that they have to actually trim against. Yeah. Which is what you see a lot of the time.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

The basis jack plates can keep it from the headaches of buy wedges, having to buy you can buy$1,800,$1,900, whatever jack plate, buy wedges, bond seven or eight props to try to get to rot like that. I mean, you come out of the hole.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

So we have a 20-degree transom on all our boats, and with that 20-degree transom, it allows you to be able to come out of the hole hard, but it also gives you enough positive trim to run out in the big end. Only if the boat's balanced, though.

SPEAKER_03 12:55

Right. If the boat's not balanced, though, it that's when people start wedging it and they start opening the bigger.

SPEAKER_00 13:00

That's how wedges enter the enter the chat.

Real-World Tests On Multiple Hulls

SPEAKER_01 13:02

So let's say we get there, right? We're here, we got our jack plate, boat's running good, right? But let's say I want to go fishing now. It's summertime, spring, I want to add some grass to my boat. So what do I what's gonna be the next step?

SPEAKER_03 13:15

Because obviously, you know, well we do have we do have counterweights being built for our jack plates. Yeah. That you know, and that's what people don't understand. Like if you if your balancing point is 34 inches from the back of your boat, you know, if you add you know, 20 pounds of counterweight to your jackplate, that's that's a lot of weight over 17 foot. It is. Is that you know if if that makes sense. Yeah. And I and I tell a lot of people that you know, boats are like seesaws, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 13:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

And it's all about weight and balance, but it's no difference like what Beast Guy said earlier, it's weights on a tire, you know. But uh the the B the BA22, you know, the uh the the breakaway or the breakaway or or you know, it's what we it was what would normally it's called the breakaway, but ours is HB. But the it's gonna be designed where you have seven inches of uh breakaway built in. It's a little bit heavier than normal. You know, we have a we have a weight right here. Yeah, it's gonna be roughly 77 pounds. It's gonna be around say seven pounds, right? And the current the current uh bob's uh breakaway is fifty-seven pounds.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

Right. So you have a little bit more weight that gives you a little bit more leverage on you know on the boat. So it's gonna help you perform on the big end.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

So that's like Daryl said, like it like let's say you put a troll motor in your boat, right? Right, right, right. That weighs, I don't know, if you put 50 pounds of power pole. Oh, yeah, power pole is a is gonna be the lightest one. Yeah. You know, most of them are going, you know, 87, let's say 87, 80 pounds, you know. Um that 80 pounds, 17 feet away from your prop is a lot, you might have to put a lot more weight to balance that out. Right, right, right. So this is why this is why these jack plates are heavier than normal, is because we know what's what people are going to do.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

Yeah, you're gonna put you're gonna put gear in it. Right. You're gonna run with gear.

SPEAKER_03 15:05

Right. And and and and we've all struggled this. It doesn't matter what brand of boat it is, everybody struggles with this. I mean, if you go back into history, you know, uh back in the day when all the glass boats were built, they were built and they had AGM batteries or lead batteries back in the day that's a bigger bigger.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

Which was a lot of a lot of weight in the back.

SPEAKER_03 15:21

You start putting uh uh lithium batteries in the back of a boat, and the boat don't run good, right? Well, that's because you change your balance point completely. Exactly. So what this jackplate is doing is going back, we're moving less weight further back from the balance point of the boat, allowing you to run lithium batteries, allowing you to make adjustments to your setup without uh going to get a lot of prop work, you know. And I've told people forever, if you're going to get a prop work and you're not dragging 660 feet, you're putting a band-aid on something.

SPEAKER_01 15:53

Yeah. You are absolutely so so another question, just thinking about this. So let's say somebody's going to duck hunt this same jack plate. Right. Yeah. Well, they would do the HB, 20. The HB, which is the breakaway. Yeah, but the breakaway. It'd be 20 pounds heavier than the other ones. Do you think that's going to affect them like in the woods, shallow water, like dragging them over? That's the beauty of it.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

You know, so you're you're operating with your prop closer to your boat. Yeah. So say we are adding weight to a seven-inch jack plate, right? So we're trying to get the leverage back, but we're also still keeping that prop closer than we would with more setback. Yeah. So what we're doing is we're walking the line between getting the right amount of leverage to run out on the big end and keeping that prop close enough to your boat to have a good hole shot.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

And making it where it's interchangeable weights, you'll be able to fine-tune your rig.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

Yeah.

Wedges vs Design: Fixing Root Causes

SPEAKER_00 16:44

You know, depending on how much gear you're putting in your boat when you're hunting or fishing or whatever, you're going to be able to take your jackplate and interchange weights on it to get the right amount. So the beauty of it is you buy one jack plate and solve all your problems.

SPEAKER_03 17:01

And that's coming. The HB22 is going to be the jack plate for the for the duck hunter that needs the breakaway feature that Bob provides.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

So that would basically, yeah. So no, basically, it's not going to affect them in the shallow order. No, yeah. For them guys, they'll they'll like it because they'll change it. They'll say, Well, it's heavier. Let's go make well, they just answer that. Yeah, no, it doesn't really matter. It's not enough weight to make a difference. You know, you know, um as far as like shallow draft.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Well, you talking about weight, you're talking about weight and how boat boat drafts. I mean, you notice all these pictures that the steps are still out of water with these jack plates. Yeah, they are. Um, you know, it's not that much weight, but it's enough weight to make a difference once the bat, uh once the boat uh uh reaches peak performance, max RPMs, and the boat's allowed to pivot.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

And it this brings us back to the angle on the bottom, too. When you're not dragging water, that's less things you're fighting. And you actually don't need as much setback if you're not fighting water as you would if you were fighting water.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

You guys think about this. You know, if you're running a boat and you're running 50 miles an hour, that water pressure off the bottom of the boat is a lot of pressure. Yeah. And if it's hitting that jack plate and you're trimming it against the jack plate, what's what are you doing? You're fighting it. You're props slipping and all kinds of good stuff. So it's it's it's you don't get a good result. Um and it goes back to uh what does this jack plate really achieve? It may go further than this. I mean, you you know, we were talking about batteries. I mean uh you know, we have some batteries up here. You know, the batteries alone, if you if you replace your boat from AGMs to lithium batteries, the technology is just getting better and better and better. But these two batteries up here, you got dual purpose 31 uh M180, all purpose, and you know that, you know, with the 36 volt, I mean everybody's running 36 volt or 24 volt batteries, right? So, I mean that's 255 amp hours of power that weighs way less of one AGM or less.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

All right, guys, we just hit over 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. Guys, we appreciate each and every one of you guys, and everybody that's watching this thing. Now, let me tell you, it shows us that 75% of you guys are watching aren't subscribed. So it helps us out a lot. If you subscribe, hit the bell for notifications and share it to your friends because guys, you could be missing out on things that you might enjoy to watch. Now, let's get right back into it. Right.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

So if you shift your weight of the jack plate behind the transom, it allows a lot more room in your trunk area for amp hours.

Counterweights And Breakaway HB22

SPEAKER_00 19:24

It does, it gives you so many more options. And like, you know, me and you have discussed it before. Like we also have a belly tank system now with our gas. Right. We just developed it. We just developed it, and a lot of people haven't seen it yet. But where it goes is in between your pods where you sit. It's only like five inches deep in the very deepest part, but it's wide and it's kind of you know long.

SPEAKER_03 19:44

So is it 14 gallons or 12 gallons?

SPEAKER_00 19:47

It gives you 14 gallons built-in gas tank, and it's almost seamless in the boat.

SPEAKER_03 19:50

I mean, you got a little bit of a gas tank in your trunk area, but it's not much.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

But you're able to put your batteries back in the back.

But you're allowed more room for your batteries. That's right. You know, it's it's getting worse and worse. You know, do you need AGMs to make your bass belts run good? Can you run everybody wants to run lithium, but they need the weight, you know. Pro guide does have a weighted battery trace now. I do. I just found that out. So options are out there. Yeah, there are there is options, guys, but you know, the key to all this, no matter if it's a glass boat or a liminum boat or whatnot, whatever it is, it's going to be balance. That's it. You gotta balance your boat. And you know, what we've done is actually think outside the box, and we started at Pinesville.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

That's it.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

We started at Pinesville. It's like, what if we can change everything? What if we can put weight outside the the boat and use the small trunk area that we have to obtain the most amp hours we can?

SPEAKER_00 20:44

That's right.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

You know, being more all in one package, being efficient all around is what we're trying to achieve. So if you go with jack plate, lithium batteries, bass boats, lithium batteries, AGMs, I mean it all goes hand in hand, but it all started with water pressure. That's it. You gotta clean the water pressure up, and it fixes all the problems. So I don't I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm pretty pumped up about the jack plates. I mean, uh so far we've tested them on every model we build just about. There's a few left.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

And it is absolutely performed. I mean, we're we're all uh really in shock at how how great it performs on everything.

SPEAKER_03 21:19

Because it allowed us to clean the boat up and also allow us to put the right amount of weight on the transom bolts. And it makes a huge difference no matter if it's an icon, no matter if it's a havoc, no matter if it's a phoenix, no matter what it is, it cleans the boat up.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

Yeah, water's water. Water's gonna act the same way when you run it over. You know, it's pressurized, shoots up. If you got clearance, you avoid the water. Now you're working off the full horse horsepower of your motor. And it's that's what's really we picked up we've picked up speed, efficiency, comfort of the drive. I mean, dude, these boats are so stable, it's ridiculous. I mean, we were on the water the other day, and I'm I'm telling you, we had our gunnels almost touching, dude. We were inches away. Full comfort, stable as could be. I mean, it's really awesome. And it's really it's not much more you can expect out of a jack plate.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

No.

SPEAKER_00 22:05

Making that much different on a rig.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

It's all about weight, balance, and water pressure. And, you know, you know, we're getting some hate on the Facebook deal because they just don't understand it. But if they would just step back and look at what we're trying to achieve here, it makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Yeah, I mean, we're we're we're gonna give the customer the option to change their setup for what they need it to be all in one jackpot.

SPEAKER_03 22:27

On the fly. You know, if if if they add uh graphs on their front deck and trolling motors on the front deck, got a lot of gear, we can add some counterbait. You know, you know, counterweight. But we're gonna give you guys that option, you know. You know, Daryl has an issue with his boat, you know. You got a picture of Daryl's boat right here?

SPEAKER_01 22:46

Yeah, I got a weight problem. Yeah, we got a weight problem. Yeah, it sits real low in the back. Somebody's back there fishing, it's like Yeah, it is a short boat.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

There it is, right there.

SPEAKER_03 22:53

You know?

SPEAKER_00 22:54

But look at that, look at that the back of the boat, dude. It's inches above the water. Yeah, and you're sitting on the front deck, you know? Yeah.

Shallow Water And Hole Shot Tradeoffs

SPEAKER_03 23:02

The boat runs really, really good, but you know, we're gonna work on this boat here, um replacing the uh the AGMs with lithiums, and we're gonna put the weight on the transom bolts because it takes less weight on the transom bolts than it does the weight inside the boat to make the boat run, if that makes sense, because it's further away from the pivot point of the boat. Absolutely. You know, so moving weight around in a boat is the key to success, and that's what we're gonna work on. We're gonna work on the Phoenix, we're gonna work on the icon again. Um we got a ballistic hull we're working with. Uh we also have a bullet that we're working with. Um because it affects all of them. It does. It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 23:44

I mean, we have figured out, I mean, over the years of us racing, us building boats, testing boats, fixing boats, it doesn't matter. Not even our own boats, other people have us fixing their boats. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 23:54

We figured out weight, balance, water pressure, and that's pretty important working with us, and uh we're opening people's eyes. They got some computer programs that's showing us some really good data right here, and I think it's gonna push the industry even further. And uh, you know, I'm excited about it. I'm super stoked. And uh ready for that.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

I think it's cool to have work on something that's gonna affect everything. Oh, I think it's gonna help everybody. Yeah, it's cool. That's the thing about the jackplate, because you know, most guys they don't have just one boat. No, even they're a big uh serious enough fishermen like us. They're like, well, I want a glass boat too, because they have an aluminum boat and never compare to a glass boat. Yeah, fighting a wheel, fighting a water. That's why people don't understand why we're fishing out of glass boats all these past time. Yeah, I mean because we're working on the stuff.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

We're trying to fix everything, baby.

SPEAKER_03 24:38

I mean, it's it's amazing that that we're but we're actually fishing out of fiberglass boats, but we have problems with fiberglass boats. Yeah. You know, it's not like every boat we sit in, there's a problem. And the more money you spend, you're still gonna run into issues. That's right. So we're just trying to fix all the problems and and you know, the bass boat, the fiberglass company, you know, bass boats really what brought our attention to this, you know. Um you just learn from everybody's products and and you make better decisions and how to improve situations.

SPEAKER_00 25:07

Yep. Well, guys, we're we're really excited about this, and I hope we answered a lot of you guys' questions. And if you got more questions, man, drop them in the comments, let us know. We'll do more on this. Um obviously we'll have more videos coming out here shortly showing you guys these boats in action and what they're doing with these H22 jack plates. And when the HB22 comes out, the breakaway, we'll be showing you guys that, walking you guys through all that process, how that works, and how efficient it is. And before we get off here, though, make sure you leave a like, hit the bell for notifications, and we'll catch you on the next one.
