Here is a link to the picts: http://www.raymondbaldwin.com/sternjack/index.htm
I cannot say on the performance, I bought the boat with them on it and I decided to re-work the engines and drives before I ran the boat very much. I would say anything over 70 MPH should have extenal steering. With the extensions I would reccomend external steering anyhow. You could try it and if the steering is a little sloppy you could put it on then. But me personally I would have it on especially on 80 MPH.
P.S. I had a manual here somewhere, But I know you would need seals 1 rub guide shift cable core wire (merc) and maybe a main bearing. It spins but it is a little loose.
I will check back this weekend but I will be away from the PC for a while - Gone boating!!!!

Actually I am the one that bought the other Stern Jack off of Raypanic, and it just so happens that I got around to finally putting it on last weekend. Interested in results?? Well, I was going to wait until I had a chance to GPS the boat, but that isn't going to happen until this weekend, and then I'm on vacation for a week. SOOOOO.....The boat ran 66 on GPS and about 70-71 on the speedo, after the stern jack in not so great conditions, I was seeing 73-74 on the speedo. I believe with a prop change there is more to be had. I believe the boat will probably run 69-70 on GPS just the way it sits, with a little more to be had probably 1 mph with the right prop like I said.

L&S also posts results for specific boats. You may want to see if yours is on the list of tested rides. Like I said, every make and model is different and will react in different ways to the Jack. The deals floated on this thread are very good, especially if they include the extended rams. Worth a try for sure.
