Sure it will, no problems - and with that 'V' you can also scare some snapper on Port Phillip Bay......best of both worlds.<br /><br />Aldo<br /><br />P.S. Wanna sell it? :)

How much? Dunno.<br /><br />In my opinion you are best to use the hooks on the transom, fitting a pole isn't an easy job in an older boat that doesn't have the bracing to take the load.<br /><br />Aldo
