Understanding I don't have an ideal fishing platform to work from, I still want to have riggers as an option. Since I already own riggers, I figure I will mount plates that can be at the ready when needed. (I usually fish the large, Fraser Valley lakes. A typical day for me is to get on the lake at first light. Fish till noon, pick up the family at the dock and tube/picnic/sight see for the rest of the day.
With that out of the way, would you mount on the rear deck surface, or use a Scotty Right Angle mount through the gunnel?

I know being further aft reduces the likelyhood of getting caught up on the kicker. At the same time, I would have to kneel/lean on the back seat to retrieve the ball and clip on. Slight further fore, using the side/gunnel mount wouldn't have to lean as far. Not a big difference. Less than 24" difference between these two mounting locations. Thoughts or opinions from you Wiseguys are appreciates.
I may even just mount the one rigger, until I feel the need to mount a second.
