I would love to hang a 300 off the back of mine but lack of funds due to lack of work right now and seeing as I already have a 175 rude to hold me over the 300 is gonna have to wait for now.

From mounting pad to mounting pad or whatever you call it.

This is the 10" set back jackplate on mine. Just measure form where it mounts to the transom to where the motor mount to it.

Hope that helps.
