Wow, nice set up. I count 30 rods, same as me:)
When it comes down to it I fish just about all the lakes thru central Ga. Jackson, Oconee, Clarkhill, and West Point are the main lakes I fish.
All those poles and ONLY two seats!!!! :dono
It's called pole control.....LOL:fish
Man just re-respooling all those reels would be an all day event!
That reminds me of one of those old British Men O War ships or a Roman galleon. If I was a crappie and saw that rascal bearing down on me, I think I would just start rolling in the corn meal.
That's awesome! With my luck, I would just get em all set and fishing and hit a school of Sunshine's and 5 on each corner get took and end up all lines tangled in a big ball of sheet under the center of the hull with no fish left hooked. But awesome set up ya got.

I like how you got your rod holders for when you are running up and down the lake. Good idea.
Those are Driftmaster rod racks...Holds 8 per rack...Make sure u get the 8" stems for spinning reels ...tall enough to keep reels off gunnel of boat. I trailer em down the road like that too...Thick rubber bands across racks to secure them...Works great!
nice boats
Here is my boat and my 'Ringer" rotfl
You didn't miss a thing. Looks like you home office and the ringer is the cutest accessory yet.

I tie them down with bunji cords. I run up to 18 ft poles on a 16 ft boat so I put a red flag on the longest pole when traveling. I think I am just short of the legal limit to run without a flag but would hate for someone to break the tips off my poles b/c they did not see them.
I keep counting 28 what 2 am I missing? Either way 28 or 30 is a lot of poles. I thought I had a chore running 18 poles by myself. It is much easier since I upgraded to the Ipilot. You big boys must share your secrets for boat and pole control lol.Quote:

Thanks slabmaster...I love the stability and ride of the big fiberglass boat but would rather tow an aluminium. I love the stick steering boats and as I get older would like to go back to a lighter and easier to handle boat.
My brother and I just bought a Suntracker, 22ft pontoon boat. Can't pick it up til Saturday, but you can bet we will have it on Lake Oconee Sunday morning!
I couldn't take a picture of it because it was surrounded by other boats. We got it at Bass pro Shop. This is what it looks like til I can take a picture of it. :fish

Congrats on your boat. You will enjoy all the room and comfort.
Attachment 91132hope you enjoy it as much as i do mine . just wish i had a 4 stroke and a little bigger motor . mine has a 40 hp . i built a hood over it to cut out the nous at WOT.
put a 55 on it now it has more power and a little faster .no 4 stroke :dono
Thanks EARL and papasage. I know we will enjoy it. We needed more room. The V Hull was way to small for what lakes we want to go to. I think we got it mostly for night fishing, as we both enjoy that. Crappie stay around bridge pilings and other hard to get to places. I love getting away from the days heat also.
this is my night fishing lights . they are on both sides and under the frunt

papasage -- That's a nice set up. What kind of rod holders have you got on your boat? I will be adding those Saturday along with some kind of night lighting system.
i made them from PVC pipe. just made 2 more for the bass boat and adding some more to the pontoon .
Good deal papasage!Quote:
