Great boat with the 5.7 liter V8. Currently set up for salmon fishing, however the down riggers and rod holders are not included in the price. Full enclosure in fantastic shape. Original upholstery which is in great shape as well. There is not an hr meter but I can tell you the hours are low.

I just picked up two down riggers and have a few questions regarding my 8 rod spread. (I will run 4 long lines, two riggers, and two dipsys)

1. How long do I send out my line before clipping it in to the releases?

2. What setting should I put the two dipsys on?

3. If I reel in a dipsy then have to reset it, can I send it down directly behind the boat similar to how you do a planer board?

4. I want to run two rods with meat. Should I run both on the riggers?

5. I plan to fish grand haven this week. Any general suggestions?

Welcome to the forums! We fish out of a 22' Sea Ray Express Cruiser and it works great for all purposes. The main engine (250 HP) is a bit overpowered for trolling to we put on a Minn Kota saltwater Riptide trolling motor and it works great. Mounted a pair of cannon Downriggers on the back and put in some tracks on the sides for dipsies and inline planers. Like you said, the nice thing about this kind of boat is that you can haul it around easily to different places and it's technically a pleasure boat when you buy it, so you can get them going pretty fast (our's loaded up cruises at about 25-30mph and will get up to 42mph).

I have a 22 ft sea ray express cruiser as well. It has been a great boat. I do have issues with trolling speed. Divemaster, is your trolling motor an engine mount?
