Thanks

theres more than a few ways to do it and a simple diy job. no way i would buy those pre made off the shelf outriggers for like $200 that's just crazy.

I totally agree with you on that. Plus I already have the crab pot floats and will be getting the forearm crutches in a day or two.

Thanks

I own the sailboats2go outriggers. They are expensive, but they work. To be honest and like you said, if you are handy you can build your own outriggers and I bet they would work just as good or better than the expensive store bought ones.

Thanks. I'm having a tough time tracking down the forearm crutches, but already have the flag pole holders & crab pot floats.

Re: Canoe outrigger help

Very stable canoe, no real need for outriggers on that boat, but since that wasn't your question, there are a bunch of videos on Youtube

I don't want to drill in the side of my canoe like the bird of prey, but I want to use the crutch idea.

Since I want to use the bird of prey idea, I need to somehow make the flag pole holders on a piece of wood/metal/synthetic material going across the canoe, but being clamped on like the one from the fly fishing christian page.

That is where I'm struggling right now.
