Here's one with a bracket and radar arch. Downriggers are in front of the hawse pipe. I guess you stand on the swim platform to net the fish. I don't think there are enough rod holders though.

I launch on both shallow and steep ramps. I have a very short draw bar which works in my favour in tight situations but a longer one would definitely be better for launching. See pic.

Hi Mudhen,

There is a sticky on brackets that you should read. Although I have a bracket on a 23 sf, I have mixed feelings regarding the benefits. It creates extra room inside the boat and gives...
