I know there have been some threads on the addition of center riggers but, none seem to answer my questions.

I am thinking of adding a center rigger to the hard top of my Sailfish 272 over the winter. I have 15' expandable Taco riggers from my old boat. I was thinking of using one for the center rigger on this job, if possible. My questions.

1) Is a 15 pole too long?
2) Will the hardtop mount with backing plate handle this weight?
3) Could a clamp on mount from the rocket launcher work?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you decide to sell your outriggers I'm in the market for a used set. Boats rigged with single center rigger not that uncommon on cape cod,
