Are you running them on braid or mono?
I run mine on 1000 ft of braid with 20-30ft of mono leader. I run the slide diver on the mono....never had a problem with them sliding.

Be careful with the cannon bases. I am a cannon man....but bumping bottom for Lakers I have broken 3 bases on my outside riggers. They don't hold up to the torque. I switched to the off shore stainless that cannon makes ( about $50 extra) but they have held up just fine.
Just my .$02..... but if you ever bump bottom you might want to hunt for the old metal style they used to make or spend the extra $$ on the SS ones

I will have to look for a pic of the cuddy. I can tell you it has all three cushions & are in tip top shape with zero rips or tares. Also has a custom maple shelf across the front of the bow in the cuddy for storing blankets...life vests etc.
The boat weighs roughly 5200lbs with the kicker & riggers on the trailer. Can be towed with half ton truck easily.

Posting this for a buddy in Orwell Vermont. ( about 20 min east of Ticonderoga)
Four Scotty 1106 Riggers with 60" adjustable booms & swivel bases. One has a captains pack on it.
Over $550 new, he is asking $400/piece for them.
call Tim @ 802-989-2906
The boat is in storage in Vermont right now. Price has been brought down to $13,000 as I put the Elite 7 on my new Baha.
It has brand new drop curtains & is coming fully equipped. Lots of tire kickers... I can say that the price is firm at $13,000.... I know what I have put into it & its WELL BELOW THAT!

Saw this post ...I guess its a good one for me to chime in on.
I just purchased a 1988 280 Baha Fishermen with cable steering . It is a twin engine & has an older King ap attached to the helm that does function well. I am thinking about switching the cable system over to hydraulic. Does any one have any experience with this change over? Cost ...work involved?
I am going to mount a kicker on her next summer & want to tie the kicker to the same system ap to limit added expense & another ap unit to maintain.
Thanks for any help guys!

I have run wingers the last two seasons with great success on an 8.5ft beam.
They do pull pretty hard on the retrieve since I use cannon high speeds. With a a 3 rigger spread for kings you virtually fish as deep as you want with out any threat if tangles. I have run them with a 4 rigger spread for browns & they work great in that application as well.
You do have to watch the split rings when running heavy rigger weights ( I run 14's)...as I have straightened a few out after extended use.
As far as the dipsie & cable idea...never heard of it. I have run down & outs with great success... especially high sun .. mid day!
good luck!
