How do people like the Taco T Top/ Hardtop mounted riggers ? I am talking about the Grand Slam 250's that are the packaged with many of the GW's--- Looking to pull heavier bars and baits---

I have the Grand Slam 350's mounted on my 228 Hardtop. They have 15 foot poles and of course backing plates for the install. So far, no problems. I think for your size boat you may require the 18 foot poles.

Hi Kev
If you get them, order at least the welded in plates (if not the entire package) from the factory. If the factory installs, Winterville welds 2 plates onto the t or hard top frame for rigidity. I think the plates are a good thing especially if you go with 18 or longer poles.
I want to install them on my boat. Just working up the nerve to take the hole saw to the top. Without the welded plates, I likely will only go with 15 poles with the backing plate and spacers for the bolts to mitigate hard too damage.

i just installed 250's on my 265 , i used backing plates and tubing spacers, which were both approved by grady and taco, absolutely no issues and looks great, i got the 15ft poles which was "more" recommended by grady-- went to the canyon in 4-6's on the way out and no problems at all , good luck
