You don't need a jackplate. The smart tabs will everything you need. As for the speedo registering correctly, I went to the paddle wheel type and mounted it on the back of the Smart Tabs, since they are always in contact with the water. The problem with the hull design is that step from the pad causes turbulants and doesn't give a clean place to put the pilot tube type speedo.

When I lived in the Seattle area, I had my mine (With just myself and fuel) up to 58 MPH. WAY TOO FAST!!! I got it down to 48 with the RPM's at 6k even, but there wasn't anyone I couldn't pull up on a single ski (As long as they were able to hold onto the rope that is).
