[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 138118, member: 1417"] I think Brine is right on all counts. If you do go ahead with the outrigger(s), you also need to make sure you can deploy them by yourself from inside the boat. Otherwise you'll have to motor with them in place which will really cut down on your speed/power. If you do motor with them in place you'll have to angle the forward end like a pontoon float so they'll cut through the water. If you made them as Brine suggests with two aluminum square tubes - one fitting into the other - you could slide them to the sides of the boat, allowing you to adjust the height of the outrigger. I think it's going to be hard to move them in and out smoothly without any binding. Your beam is probably only about 40" so remember that unless you off-set the arms for the outriggers, you'll only be able to extend the arms out about half the beam width, or about 20". I fear by the time you buy the aluminum and large PVC pipes you'll have spent enough to buy a wider boat (unless you have the materials already). It's a fun problem and a cool idea. I hope you will post pics if you decide to go ahead with the project. [img]https://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab322/krame023/outrigger.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
