If you look at the modifications section there is some good photos about downrigger installations.
good luck with your boat, I have a 2001 210 with a 200 Yam HPDI, bought last year used and enjoyed it last summer.

Hey Shrek,
I didn't even notice you were from the Northeast near my neck of the woods. Where are you planning on using the 210? I haven't put downriggers on my boat yet, not sure if I will or not, have several friends with boats with riggers, I use my boat primarily for for salwater fishing in Mass and Maine, & mostly for family fun on lake Champlain here in VT. Also have a small Whaler I use for bass and trout fishing around VT.

Also where did you buy the boat, or thinking of buying it, not sure if you did or not.

hi fishahn
im near schenectady-albany ny. i start fishing the hudson river around mothers day for stripers, then move on to mohawk river and also niantic conn for the long island sound(more stripers+blues) i want to fish champlain this year i never have before. i always figured if i have to drive any length of time i go to the li sound. try something different this year. i love the ocean though.
mohawk valley marine is the local triumph/mercury dealer for me-bob esperti is a great guy real down to earth and honest. i have rode harley davidson motorcycles for a long time and have never been treated as well as bob treats his customers he is a real good guy. its not just me its also his other customers that i have observed.
there is a small boat show at the crosstown plaza rte. 7 schenectady ny this weekend by the way, something to do.

No kidding, I was born in Albany, grew up in Loudonville til I was about 10 yrs old. My dad worked for Nelson Rockefeller. Anyway been up here in Stowe, VT since then (1975). My family and I run the Town & Country Resort in Stowe, 45 room motel and restaurant. If you ever come up this neck of the woods look us up. I'd be happy to extend a Triumph owner discount for lodging. I could give you plenty of tips on Champlain also. I usually fish for Bass and Pike in Champlain with my 15' Whaler, but we take out the 210 CC on occasion also. I have a few good friends who fish for the Trout and Salmon also, mostly out of Malletts Bay area and Burlington.

take it easy

Hey Fishahn! Got any pictures of your motel and restaurant that you could upload in your photo gallery? You might have several folks on the board that would love to plan a vacation up your way.

NCAngler,

I'll see if I can figure it out for my profile.
