I just finished installing my new HiTeks.
Some more pics...I am gonna like these rod holders.
A few more shots, Lol.
I like that alot. I need to go take some pics of my setup this weekend for show and tell. Their not as nice as what you have but they are darn steady
Poor thing. Room for 16 rods and the boy can't afford nothing but a brim fishing pole to hang on 'em. I'll call Tim Geitner for ya Insert and see if I can get a little Tarp money thrown your way.
But the holders looks great. Now clean the boat up and for Pete's sake, let's whip that shop into shape while you're at it. That's just an OSHA violation looking for a place to happen right there.
Wannabe...
You are going to love them!!! Best rod holder on the market. Let us know how you like them
Yep...I got to clean the shop up one of these days, LOL. I had to put a 6 and a half ft. spinning rod in that holder because the shop is junked up and not enough room to put a 12 ft. crappie pole in it, Lol. And I do have to get some more long poles. I will get there one of these days. I got to go kinda slow...my credit card is not as big as Maj's is, Lol. :D Gonna cut some holes in the floor tommorrow sometime maybe and put two more seat bases up front. Anyway...just having fun and enjoying retirement. :)
I can tell right now that I am going to love them.Quote:

Sorry to jack the thread. Nice rod holders also.
Oh yeh I got a old Drake somewhere with a Q-Multiplier.
Yep....I think those rod holders are the cats meow! :) They are really sturdy and well made. Scott does a good job buiding those.
You're about set up with everything a guy would need. New Hiteks and some oooooooold electronics. I used the 129x when I was younger. It would drift more that a crappie fisherman with a motor failure:eek:
Again, nice stuff.
Good Lookin Fishin Machine--wish I Had A Shop Like Yours[looks Great]
Dang,G-3. Great looking rod holders, not to mention the boat and the shop.;)
now all you need is some water and feeshes
Are they pre-war or post war? Hallicrafters played a large part in National Defense during WWII. It's a shame they were pushed out by Japanese competition after the war.Quote:

I got the same boat except mine is a 2002 model. Im jsut worried there want be enough braceing for them, thats my reason for holding off
Well...It worked on Wannabes G3 boat and it worked on mine. The local G3 boat dealer also does that all the time. So I kinda think is strong enough. :)Quote:

Wannabe sent me the measurements of the base spacing on his boat....I think his boat is similar to yours...mine is a G3 Eagle 185...I had to put my bases a little closer together than Wannabees because my deck is a little narrower where the bases are located. Just take both of your seats and get up front and figure out where they need to be...thats what I did.
yea mine is a Pro 165 and its 54 3/8 wide from carpet corner to carpet corner.
If you had put them on a V-Lock you could remove them when not in use.
hey G-3, which g-3 boat is that?
Its a G3 Eagle 185Quote:
