I want to add some speed to my boat and always thought that an Alpha SS might be the way to go. Then I saw an ad for the Stern Jack and visited their site. It would appear that I might be able to accomplish the same, or better, results by installing a Stern Jack and one of their nose cones. What are your thoughts? Does anyone have any experience with a Stern Jack and are they as good as the ad would lead you to beleive?
