  4. hey there i think the moderators on this site used poor judgment on deleting my reply in the buy and sell forum regarding a 220 princecraft why we have to look out for each other that is a sour deal and someone i guess im the black sheep felt obligated to say it cause im an honnest man and a fisherman yes most of us knows its a bad deal but some may not know that a boat that size to put a main motor on it is way over 20k should i have let an innocent fisherman get played NO maybe i didnt use the right choice of words on my reply but i hope in helped someone thefrenchman
  5. Hey there yep use long boom i got 96 beam and never had a problem set up on the corner of the boat 2 straight back and 2 90degre out on the side what is important is the depth at wich you set your riggers so that they dont get tangle on a release i always set up my Inside deeper then my outside riggers plus dont do like (SABONATION) and use stiffer rod holders for your dipsys dont use cheap plastic ones and use long rods for your dipsys and your dipsy rod should never be over your rigger boom closest to the water possible thefrenchman
  6. Hey there excuse me but those rod holders are real cr...p friend of mine showed me yesterday his set-up he has 4 on each side of the gunel the 2 first one on his side he uses for dipsys and they wabble like bubble heads you put on a dash and only a season not even fisnish at that do yourself a favor and look at the new rachered rod holders from traxtech i bought 2 this year to try them wow you will see right away this is good stuff not made out of cheap aluminum sheet just go look at them #GT100 thefrenchman
