White Marlin Open. Mounting Rupp Riggers

[capttonyf]

I was just hired to run a boat for the White Marlin Open this Summer in Ocean City, MD. The owner is new to boating but got a killer deal on this rig and wants me to give him a hand. I'm all in and very excited, It's been awhile since I've got to fish the Canyons. My question is how do you think would be the best way to mount the 36' Rupp Outriggers he's got in storage.

The boat is Completely fish rigged other than getting these riggers mounted. It's got a Fighting Chair mounted to the Bow, 2 or 3 metal bait buckets for Shiners, New Marine Grade carpet, New Bolsters, New Batteries 3 Years ago, a manual bilge pump, a cooler, Eagle fish finder/Depth Gauge and a full 50 Johnson produced HP.

The boat is a 1977 15' Masterlin Tri-Hull but that Johnson's gotta be newer than that,,,it's Clean. This boats in sweet condition other than the oxidation and faded Gelcoat. Oh, and the trailer is registered through 2016 so I shouldn't have to worry about the fuzz ticketing me at the ramp.

Any suggestions on those riggers and anything else you think I may need to get her tournement ready enough to hang with the big boys would be really appriciated.

Here she is in all her Glory. I know she's no Gibson but I bet there's a few more hours of good fishing time left in her.

Make sure you angle them to match the angle of the windshield. Otherwise it will look awkward.

We will add your name right below Freebirds. The headstone will read TRIED. I would suggest not mounting the riggers save them for your next trip. TELL YOUR WIFE TO PUT THEM ON CRAIG S LIST.

Put a float on the end of each outrigger and lay them out in the water. You will need the extra stability.

We shouldn't forget about all the Dry Rot near the bungy cord battery holder. "No problem boss , just a little dry rot,That's ok Boss all boats have it". "You bet your little booty you weren't going to drink it,, you want a beer you get your own beer". Love Capt. Ron.
