Hey guys i wanted to make outriggers for my kayak and had a few questions that i hope you guys can help me out with.
Referring to the outriggers, should i have just one outrigger or two? And how much of the kayaks length should they cover? And where should they be placed on the kayak like front back etc..?
I want to mount the outriggers through the yaks scupper holes is this a good idea or is there a risk of breaking the scuppers and creating a water leak? If so where should i mount them and how?
And what should i make the outriggers floats out of? Something like a big foam bouy or little plastic bannanas?

Thanks.
