Wanted to pick some brains as a contemplate my options. I'm getting more and more serious about acquiring a boat to call my own since I still can't convince Dad to sell me our "shared" rig and there are times where I just need to be on the water up here in Wisconsin.

I'm looking at the Ranger 600 Series (619 - 621) for the big water up here (e.g. Lake Michigan, Lake Winnebago, Poygan, etc.) and will set it up for trolling cranks/boards, so no issues from the consoles back. What I'm curious to hear about, especially from those glass boat owners, is whether you prefer to mount your rigging bases/holders on the bow glass or tuck them in and mount them on the floor. Probably pros & cons for both but I think what I would be most concerned about would be poking a hole in the glass when mounting the bases.

Thoughts, comments and pictures welcome!
