I use 2 angled to troll, 2 straight ones with 3 way for snapper fishing or bottom bashing, Ideal set up height wise, clears the motor and still gives me 2 other rod holders either side down the back in the gunnels, for down rigger or another rods......

It's looking fantastic.

Making progress.

Thanks rb,
I think it will start looking more like a boat again over the next month or so. Every new thing bolted on makes the smile a tad bigger.
But, a long way out yet....

lol,
Yeah it's a solid piece of kit Matt, just hoping as mentioned it doesn't fowl the motor.
I'll definatly get it modified if it does, would probably be less cost than buying a new one.......

Ok, bit more progress, tracked down some 316 marine s/s bolts, cut up my hard wood under gunnel packers and gave them a coat of marine sealer,
will glue and drill them in place tomorrow, then fit the rocket launcher and fit off the bait board Sunday
Pulled the re vamped wind screen out of storage, finished that a few months back, was a crappy silver anodise finish which had seen better days,
along with the acrylic, I was right happy with the finish and how it looked fitted back on, will leave the protective paper on until she goes for the new
bimmini, knowing my luck while working around the dash area, I'm bound to put a nice scratch in her........
Slowly ticking things off the list....
