I have a rapid jack plate on my bass boat that came with it when I purchased it. I want to start by saying this product kept my boat on the water when the floods hit and we were doing water rescue. We hit something on the water and it tore up my trim pump. Was able to use the rapid jack to pick my motor up and keep me on the water helping people out. Blew the motor the second day. Dropped a cylinder but kept going.
Your product helped us get to people so I just wanted you to know that.

"One unit, the Rapid Jack, is very different from the rest. It incorporates a unique ratchet-lifting mechanism that allows adjusting the engine up or down in easy 1/4 inch increments with one wrench. This is one of the nicest manual units on the market! Rapid Jack offers the most convenient-to-use manual jack. Hydro Dynamics focuses all of their efforts on building high-quality manual jack plates and extension plates".

Hydro Dynamics, is probably the best kept secret in the world of outboard performance. Chuck and a small staff run a very specialized shop in the small town of Benton in northwest Louisiana. The shop is dedicated solely to the science of building the parts necessary to propel some of the world's fastest outboards."

I have been using the Rapid Jack since 1995; however, I would like to take a minute of your time to talk about a Family I just came to know a little over a year ago... the Hydro Dynamics' team.

Spending only a minimal amount of money getting my injectors cleaned and purchasing a Dual Pyrometer Kit, I got more answers than I got from a good paid lawyer. Chuck Goodman is always near the phone when you need him. Chuck has given me the knowledge I need to advance to new levels in setting up my boat to perform like no other.

In 1995, I purchased a Bullet Bass Boat rigged with a Rapid Jack; again, in 2000, I purchased a Bullet Bass Boat rigged with the Rapid Jack. As a bass angler and professional boat racer in the Stock Bass Boat Class, my jack plate is put to the test every time I run my boat. I place the Hydro Dynamics' Team and its products in an elite group having been around boats since I was a kid.

For years I have witnessed the use of products manufactured by Hydro Dynamics and Nitrox. If you are looking for reliability, quality products, and strong customer service, I recommend Hydro Dynamics and Nitrox. Their products work. You got my word of honor.

"I've been buying products from Hydro Dynamics for several years now. I use only Rapid Jacks on the Liberator tunnel boats I sell. Never a failure or problem. I have a lot of custom parts and jack plates built by Hydro Dynamics that are my own design. He's always very enthused about doing new stuff. I recommend Hydro Dynamics' products for anyone's performance boating needs. Thanks Hydro Dynamics!"

My Hydro Dynamics' RAPID JACK is a great example of the worry free performance I need to be competitive. Precision Machining, stainless hardware, and the strength of the industries finest aluminum, is what keeps my engine in exactly the right position, day in and day out in extreme conditions."
Thanks Hydro Dynamics,

When I think about my friend, Chuck Goodman, it seems to me I have known him forever.  I first met Chuck back in the early 80's.  Chuck called me when I was working with my father at Tide Craft Boats.  He wanted to know if we would look at something new he had made, and give him our opinion.  I asked Chuck what had he made; and he told me a jack plate.  I thought to myself, what could be new about a jack plate? 

Well, I will never forget the evening he arrived.  It was storming and the rain had made for a bad day.  Chuck came into the plant and showed us how his device worked.  This was the first "Rapid Jack" by Hydro Dynamics.  Melvin Smith, my father, told him he definitely had a winner.  He said, "Get a patent as soon as possible, you can go as big as you want, son".  He advised Chuck to show at some of the Dealer Trade Shows to help get the word out.  And, the rest is, as they say, history.

Every product or service produced by Hydro Dynamics has been the industries finest.  Chuck has invented/perfected too many items to list for both fishermen and boat racers.  His influence over his employees has inspired them to produce items that are superior and you know you will receive top of the line service. 

Chuck Goodman has become a trusted business associate, as well as a very good friend.  When I call Chuck he always takes time to listen, a rare talent these days.  When it comes to solutions for high performance, his meticulous machine work is the best by any standard.  Almost all high performance applications require tweaking, and Hydro Dynamics' Team offers whatever assistance is needed.

I don't believe he or I will ever outgrow our "need-for-speed", at least, I hope not.  I am very proud to be associated with Chuck Goodman and the Hydro Dynamics' Team, and glad to call all of them friends.
