(Off post). Thanks for all the great advice on rods and reels.
I bought a 1987 16.5 ft aluminum side console Tracker boat to use in the Boise Idaho area. After chucking the old 2 stroke motor for a 30hp 4 stroke, I am now ready to start thinking about mounting a couple of downriggers for the upcoming season. My wife bought me a pair of Cannon Lake Trollers for Christmas and I am thinking about mounting them. The boat does not have any mounting rails but does have a couple of sealed compartments just before the motor area. I was thinking of re-enforcing those and mounting the down riggers on them, but not sure. Any advice on mounting DRs on an older aluminum boat?
