I have a little 1994 14' Smokercraft Alaskan, and I'm not sure exactly how to install downriggers on it. The gunnel doesn't seem that stout to where it would be able to handle some of the heavier downrigger balls if I wanted to go deep, or if I hung up on something, etc.

Do any of you folks out there have a Smoker Alaskan and can share with me how you mounted your downrigger or downriggers?

Thanks a ton!
