Even with the Cisco brackets and especially with the Lunds with the narrow gunnels such as the impacts even those will flex hard and cause lots of issues! The best way to get around it is to get a set of mounts made up that will allow you to run a cross board (gunnel to gunnel). This ties in in either side of the boat and you can run 60" scottys and 15lb sharks no problem! I have made a bunch of Sport Track mounts for my own boat and am actually making a set of 45degree cross board mounts for another guy in the next few months. Nice thing about the cross board on the low boats is it makes a nice area for leaning against while netting and setting lines. A buddy of mine did one with the much more expensive cisco mounts and said it also worked great! I will see if I can find a picture of his setup! I have a 1875 Crossover with the 90d track and wide gunnels like a Tyee and I at first tried out the Cisco mounts and took them back to Josc at Anglers and ordered 16' of Cisco track and bolted them down directly to my gunnels. Used 3/4" backer and they are SOLID as can be! If your intrested in getting a price on these crossboard mounts I am making send me a message!
