It seems a little high to me, but you do get a lot of extras. The problem with mounting downriggers on the model I have is the gunnels are not wide to just mount them directly and have enough backing to withstand the stress of the downrigger. If the newer models have overcome this, you should have no problem. Another thing to consider is how much bending will you have to do to operate the downriggers. With the rear casting platform, you may have to spend a lot of time on your knees hooking up releases. Since I started fishing downriggers, I have been considering changing boats. If you do not fish downriggers that much, they are great boats.
