Thread: Bent up some metal today.

Those look good and are alot cheaper than the ones I had a guy machine and weld for me.

RCC those look like they are working.

Steve your boat is looking good!

RCC: What are those mounts for?

Mine are for a couple of driftmaster rod holders. The 2 in the brown paint I mailed of to some Mississippie hand that when I asked him what he was gonna use them for, said "If I tell you I'll have to kill you" . All I know is they are going on a Wareagle 754. (to be honest, I assume he is gonna put rod holders, but I don't know. He may be using them for duck blind brackets. He said just to leave them long)


10-4 Firecamp on those on the side being to far to reach on a 754. A guy needs some dual seats and they would be OK. Even on my 542, I have them tilted just slightly in and it is perfect.

RCC,
When mounted are the rod holders inside your boat and out of the way when not in use.

RCC, your pics inspired me to make a few of my own. I have four ready to mount on my boat tomorrow.

The ones on the side are out of the way, but when I spider rig, I run 4 or 5 rods straight out the front and the t-bar on the front is always in the way. I'll find a pic of the rig and put it up.

Here are a couple of pics that may show you how close you are. The boat is a Wareagle 542 and I have been told that I can't get any more out of this boat. The standard fishing configuration back to front is 4 pole home brewed rod holder on the port side of the back seat that doubles as a mount for a hb 798 and also doubles as the tip holder for the rod racks while in transport. Left side is the 2 layer rod racks over top of the gun box. Which remove with 2 pins. The lid of the gun box opens right underneath the lower rack of rods. At the start of the lower deck is the 2 home made mounts we have been talking about. On the front deck is a 4 pole driftmaster with a home made mount for a HB 718 At the very tip of the bow is a Terrova 55 on a raised mount. In transport this lays back over the top of the driftmaster and one of the rod holders can be adjusted to support the shaft. There is not much wasted space. The person fishing the bow usually my wife can easily fish 6 or 8 poles all within easy reach. If I am solo, I like to get a 5 gallon bucket of minners up between my feet so when the fishing gets really slow I can watch them and not be bored

Here is the port side front showing how much room you have with the rods racked. Unracked, you have a little more room. Some times you have all this junk and really all you need is a zebco and a 5' rod.
