I have a 1994 Sea Ray Bowrider with seats in the back. Has anyone built a custom downrigger system that can be removed for a boat like this? eg, for trolling - fishing? Would love to hear your ideas, see pics. Want to maintain the ski boat look and feel when not fishing.

mOst downriggers, manual anyway are easily remove with either 4 bolts or some have quick release brackets. You would always have the baseplate on your boat but the downriggers would come off. I would reccommendations Scotty for the ease of use. I have used big Jon, Scotty and cannon and from the 3 Scotty is the easiest. Just my opinion though
