[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 442192, member: 22139"] Agreed, most tinnies you see with riggers are v hull. I think it’s because deep water is often big water and can get rough. Most set ups I see on small boats are a little more forward than you would typically see on a larger boat. Probably for a couple reasons. The most obvious being tiller steering, then weight distribution, space etc. A guy I know has a board that goes across the gunwales and pins into his oar locks. So he can remove the whole set up easily. As far as snagging the bottom, I’ve never seen it happen but if it did, it could be an exciting experience on a small boat! Keep an eye on the depth finder! Was at bass pro recently and saw mini down riggers that clamp to the gunwales. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
