[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 778606, member: 12443"] i fished with 5' booms off the sides on swivel bases and 2' booms off the stern corners. i never had any problems with that setup. keep in mind thats a salmon/trout setup meant for slow trolling. i wouldnt attempt using it for high speed trolling. i have used my stern corners for that purpose but with the z wings not standard weights. if i were to re rig a boat today for your type fishing i wouldnt be using any permanant mounts. everything would be mounted on a removable board accross the stern and supported off the gunnels. some are supported by built in gunnel rod holders. that way they are easily removed without leaving any holes. and they can easily be moved to another boat if you decide. electrics are just about a must have in my opinion for your purpose. that way you can fish 4 riggers even if your alone if need be.
