    Who makes the best outrigger set up for a 48' Express Style boat

    I have experience with Schaefer's system.

    Anyone using Lee's MX ProSeries?

    How about Rupp Tournament Series?

    I like Rupps

    Fortunate One:
    I have a 33' express and use the Rupp Tournaments. Mine are the double spreaders and I run three lines through them. One of the three is the teaser. I rarely pull my tip baits all the way up but I have and the riggers hold a small bait(islander with a ballyhoo) well. The tips don't flex so much that it pulls the bait out of water at a fast troll. The people at Rupp are second to none and after you meet them at a boatshow you'll get customer service like you won't believe. I assembled and installed my outriggers myself and it wasn't bad. The only downside is the Rupp people don't take American Express. I got a Mastercard just to be able to deal with them over the phone more easily. They are that good.

    I have the Lee mx series and would NEVER buy them again. I have had the mid section between the two spreaders break three times! I only have 800 hrs on the boat and do not run her hard. I have seen the riggers from pipe welders and they look very clean and put together nice.

    Pipewelders is top of the line, but very expensive. I have a Pipewelders tower, but I think the outriggers are Rupp if I'm not mistaken.
