Got the new-to-me motor on the boat today. Not rigged yet. With the motor in the highest position, I think its pretty close to where it needs to be. Vance customer service answered my question within an hour or so. Actually Mr. Vance did (small shop). I get 1.5" minimum, plus and additional 4" of adjustable "up". So the jack plate will raise the motor between 1.5" and 5.5" I think it will work just fine.
I am ordering the JPL 4300 when they open up tomorrow. Good price, looks like a good product, responsive customer service, made in USA by a small business. They get my money and a plug on this site.
Will post pics when i get it and also when installed on the boat.
Thank you all so much for your replies to my questions.
