WBF, The otter boats work great even in rough water. I can not speak as to how they handle umbrella rigs as I have never dragged any behind them before. I would think that it would be a matter of using an appropriate release with them. I have never dragged anything besides salmon lures behind them. I have put about 6 or 7 colors of leadcore out and stuck it out there without any issues.

Anyway the otter boat and mast was SOLD! last night. Thanks Wayne! Good luck with it.

Thanks for the response, I mostly will be dragging Salmon lures behind them also, maybe 5 or 6 times with the Umbrellas. I don't really like fishing the umbrellas as you have so much weight in gear that unless you get a huge fish its like dragging in a log!
If you see a blue Lund Tyee with a grey top and PA registration say hi.

WBF, Thats funny I have a 1986 Blue Lund Tyee 4.9 with a Doo Doo Brown top. I love that boat! I put honda outboards on it and its the best.

I have a Honda 115 and a Honda 9.9 Kicker. Can't beat it. I wouldn't mind a 150 but I am not complaining. Here is a pic of mine. I have to resize the pictures but you get the idea.
