    Talons on 201

    Adding two 10' Talons to my '05 201 Pro xl. Wondering if anyone here has a picture of their set up or recommendation on a set up angle that worked best for them. I have the sandwich brackets mounted but didn't know if people like them tight to the transom or sticking back further. I've read that they should be close to the transom but just checking with owners. Thanks for any help.

    Mount brackets, arm the Talon is on and the Talon itself as high as you can get them. Also mount as close to the transom as you can. All of this is to avoid drag.


    Not a 201 but same principle applies....
