Outrigger question for east coast guys

eggsuckindog · #1 01-05-2013, 10:37 PM

I'm get ready to sell a pair Lee 15' riggers and elbows - 1 1/8" bases - fully rigged and only used twice - trying to get handle on price

I guess I would do a Miami C/L search and see what comes up.

Hey Dog, I'm assuming these are the 1 1/8" gunnel mount? I'm thinking used would be in the $500 range, maybe a bit more because they are Lee's. I'll keep my eye out for ya.

I wish I had bought the Lee's t-top mount bases instead of the Taco, oh well 20/20 hind site is wonderful.

What's wrong with the taco mounts???? I bought a set for a price I could not refuse

Evan, After a few years they get loose and sloppy. They are nice units, don't get me wrong, however If I had it to do over I would go with the Lee's mounts. They are very simple, very well made and over built. Heck, in my world all I need is an "in position"and an "out trolling position" plus only two adjustments for the outrigger's angle...flat and up to troll. I don't really need all the adjustments I thought I just had to have when I bought the Tacos. Oh yeah, I have the Taco poles and have had to send them back once for repairs, at no cost except shipping, after the repairs they still work perfect. Good luck!

You are correct I think they are 1 1/8, which made finding some for my gunnel bases hard - I did a new set in the wrappers

I'm not selling the bases just the elbows, they were in when I bought and don't want to pull and cover them.

So $500 may he high - is that correct, they hard to find though and new bases are expensive

Hey Dixon, after you sell yours, I've got a set of the same Lee's outriggers (no base or arms) I'll sell cheapo. That's if I can still get them apart to bring home.

I still have a pair of tigress 1 1/18 with lee elbows...way too much for the cap.

May have a mirage flying your way.
Cheers,
GFS

I put them up for 175 on CL S Fla - they work great for gunnel mounts with no major mods needed they are so light

Any chance they could be shipped to the north east? Or is anyone planning a trip to Tampa before tuna season up here?
