You don't have to break the bank to get outriggers. Keep your eye out for used sets. I see them all the time for hundreds less that new. In fack I just picked up a set of Taco rigger bases for my new boat for $300, 50% off the $600 original price at West Marine.

I see bass pro shop has the sport slam mounts if I get them and mount em to my arch what length tele-outriggers shuld I get.I think I could get away with spending about $1,200 for a complete set up.as long as the wife isnt home when they come in the mail I will be ok

I would stay away from the sport slam bases. Lost of folks have problems with them. 15' or 18' poles will be fine, but be sure to get 1 1/2" dia poles 1 1/4 and smaller will not fair well pulling bars with big squids and the strikes will take their toll on them as well.
15'ers i would rig single, 18'ers you can rig doubble.

Here is an entire new set mounts and poles for $950.00 not sure what the pole dia is.

If you look around you can find some really good new and used deals out there, and you should have no problem getting a complete setup for under $1200.00

Thank you for the advise and web site link. I went to it and the pols are 1.25"dia looks like I will go with the 18ft pols @1.5" dia I like the idea of fishing two lines off each pole.I just need to keep my eyes open and be patient Thanks again for the help

I'd take a look at Lee outriggers. All of their products (cleats, rod holders, etc) have held up really well on the boat and the quality is superb. I've had the SW9300 bases and AP3916XS poles (1.5" dia) on the boat for 3 years now I think and they look and work as well as the day they went on. I would highly recommend them. Should be able to get poles and bases for around 1k before shipping.

Your top looks like a bimini with a radar arch. If you're going to add riggers, you'll probably have to fabricate something onto your arch. It's amazing how much torque and pressure they must withstand. Any good fab shop can bend and weld pipes to it. So don't skimp on the bases. They need to be super strong and will be permanent.

I have 1.5" Rupp Topgun Radials (like the ones OTE pointed you to) welded into my T-top with dbl rigged 18' fixed alum poles. Excellent bases. Super strong. And Rupps customer service is A+.

I like the idea of putting them on the arch and i will definitely need to have them professionally installed.I dont have a lot of room between the arch and bimini top.The shop that built and installed the arch didn't do a good job on it.And the ones OTE pointed out to me were nice
