[QUOTE="mattNYtrout, post: 477524, member: 27118"] Great points re: static v..dynamic use of these outriggers. These outriggers are fully adjustable, so when Im driving I can lift them as far off the water as needed. When I'm launching, the outriggers point straight up just to give you an idea of their versatility. I'm primarily going to vertical jig for trout and salmon. When the boat is at t rest as I fish, I will deploy the outriggers by lowering them. My end goal is to creat more stability when at rest, so If Iean too much or a wake hits me, the risk of capsize is lower. Within reason of course! I don't plan on standing and I'm treating the boat like a kayak as far as wind conditions, keeping my center of gravity low, counter balance etc. I'm ok with not having tons of primary stability (i.e if the boat feels tippy), but I want more secondary stability. As far as speed, I'm just looking for cruising speed/puttering along. I kayak fish, but wanted more range. I don't perceive your comment as negative. No worries! The outrigger manufacturer was animate that the outriggers should not be deployed while in motion. [/QUOTE]
