Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you have experience fishing with an outboard mounted on an extended/offshore bracket? I'm in the market for a new aluminum boat and some of the brands I've looked at come with an extended bracket. I see them all over at flaming gorge and I know they are popular in the northwest. I just don't know if the pros outweigh the cons of having one.
I fish exclusively on lakes and reservoirs. I don't know if these are more of a saltwater or river application or what? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm probably going to buy a weldcraft or possibly one of the new magnitude boats from Idaho. I can get both brands with either type of engine mount, I just have to decide which would be best for downrigger trolling on lakes and reservoirs.
