There are a couple guys on here that are in front of me (sorry about the hurricanes guys- btw I think what comes after Zeta is Antifa) but I've got to give you guys a sneak peek at my EVO build. Super excited.
I spent a ton of time looking at that very topic when I had my boat built. Went with the microjacker on the recommendation of the production manager. He went into detail on the issue that they HAD been having and corrected. No issues with mine at all.Great looking boat. I would request a Bob’s jackplate for such a nice new skiff, those Atlas Microjackers are unreliable and the performance is sub par compared to a USA made Bob’s. Faster, smoother and much more solid.
They moved the ram to the center, use a more powerful motor, fixed the slop in the slide washers and make them in the USA now? The only thing they have going for them is weight. Just my opinion, doesn’t count for much.I spent a ton of time looking at that very topic when I had my boat built. Went with the microjacker on the recommendation of the production manager.

In the order you listed: No, yes, no, yes, yes. But you missed one. Less cost.

Because this is a discussion forum. Mind your business.In the order you listed: No, yes, no, yes, yes. But you missed one. Less cost. LOL
But really what was the point of your post in the first place? Its already got a microjacker on it so he's not going to change it. If you are alerting others that you think Bob's are better than perhaps a separate thread would be more appropriate than a negative on a guys new boat.
The grey boat on the far right of the picture is my EVOx. Should be ready next week.This is the new EVO V. I went with this because my primary fishing water will be the Louisiana Marsh and I don't need a super shallow boat, but I will have 30 minute runs to make (and an occasional hour run) and I want them comfortable. Here is one of the latest pics I have. It is now sitting on a trailer but still waiting on the motor. It won't be a Microskiff (115hp) but ASM. (All Skiffs Matter). ;-) You'll notice two others EVOs next to mine, those are the guys in front of me, another V and a X.

My personal experience with the Atlas is that it's superior the Bob's. And, IIRC, the Atlas are made in the USA.Great looking boat.

Sweeeet! I like the color.This is the new EVO V.
