After you do five or six of them you pretty much have it down to a science. Of course, once you do five or six of them, everyone and their brother wants your help.

Fortunately, I've been in enough boats with good (and bad) setups to know what I want and what I am looking for. Aluminum isn't so bad if you want to move something. Especially with carpet. you really can't see the holes. If you don't have carpet, you can purchase new vinyl or carpet the area. Fiberglass on the other hand!

Boat setups are different depending on the species. For Salmon, I setup a boat totally different then I setup for walleye. My Salmon setup could run 16 to 20 rods without moving one to fight a fish! I have a few additions to make to my walleye setup but it is only to improve the current design and not really move anything.
