Super fast shipping. Great communication. Build quality is even better than expected, going to work perfectly on my 15’6” Gheenoe Classic. I spent a lot of time deciding on a jack plate and even live... See more
Very happy with the jack plate. I was looking for a very minimal setback but need the adjustability for my jet outboard. I can raise it up when I am running a very shallow rocky bottom river or lower... See more

The mini Jackplate I ordered was just what I was looking for small compact and lightweight. Product was very easy to install. Company was also very quick to ship.
Very quick response and high quality items. Thank you folks.....
I've had my 5" jackplate installed for about 4 years now. Works great, haven't had any issues. 16' jonboat, 20 hp mercury prop. Couldn't remember the hp rating of my jackplate. Want to upgrade to a 25 hp jet. Emailed the company and got a response the same day! Continued our email conversation on Sunday! What company corresponds on a Sunday? Very helpful, and much appreciated!
Great product and fast shipping,would like vannce manufacturing to consider free shipping on orders over 200 dollars definitely will help the consumer
Great people and company to do business with! After 2 conversations with the owner about technical advice and then having to make a change to my order I believe all these products from a design standpoint are the best due to Edward having such an inventors mindset. The design of the jack plate and how they adjust are the best I’ve seen. I made my order late in the evening and it shipped the next day. Arrived very well packaged and looks awesome.
Fast shipping but i thought or maybe i assumed it would be one 2 inch thick adapter plate and not 2 one inch plates that i was purchasing…because i already had 1 one inch plate and now i have three one inch plates…no where did it state 2 one inch plates that you bolt together…more detailed explanation of what you are purchasing is needed…
Fast shipping.
Everything was packed well.
Items ware well made and good quality.
Excellent quality, great fit and finish! I am running the manual kick n jack and upper transom plate and wouldnt put anything but Vance on my duck boat!
Great customer service. I messed my order up and they contacted me to make sure my order was correct!
Installed these on my 36 foot contender with the new Verrado V8 300s they look great and they fit well
Got my 4” fixed setback plates and they looked used. Had scratches and scraps. But they got here fast
