These home made rigs have worked out ok for me. The first pic is just checking for fit. The second is on the boat ready to roll.

Did the same for my rod holders for pullin cranks. They work great.
RCC those look good. Did you make those out of Alum or Steel?
Those are aluminum. I just stuck some 1/4 by 2 inch width in a vice and hit it with the sledge to get the little angle. The T-bolts are greenhouse hardware. It doesn't take long to whittle out a couple and they are really surprisingly strong. Just like LRJoe, I pull the 4 rod holder off the front and stick it on those brackets in the sides and pull 3 or 4 cranking poles off each side during the heat of the summer.
RCC is this what ski trip was needing made?
He did mention that he may go this route, but I don't know how he ended up. If he doesn't show up on this thread, a pm may get him to look.Quote:

I just thought if I like spider rigging, I probably will want to add a couple more poles out the the side, maybe two out each side to fill out the spread. Only thing I'll have to buy from Scott would be the additional rod holders. By the way, Randle, you did an excellent job on yours and those pretty much hit the center of the target for me! Thanks for posting those pics, man. :ThumbsUp

I like what you did RCC.
This is what I put on my War Eagle 1542
The front seat one can be removed easily.
Hope these pictures post OK.
RCC, That's exactly what i had in mind for my boat. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Did you have to make the bolts? I was going to use carriage head blots and grind them down till they fit in the slot. I was going to use toilet bolts, but all I have seen look like they may not be very strong. Only difference is mine will be on an xpress boat.

The t-bolts are green house bolts. I've never made any to sell, but by the pm response, I may need to dig in, and and make a few more.

I have a 4 pole rack but those would be nice to have to put anywhere on the boat for people in the back of the boat.Quote:

These are for pulling cranks, you can use these for spider rigging as well. I use Bee Ready's on the front. They are mounted right into the deck.
I love that design. I have been looking for something to put on my flat-bottom, i think i have found it.Quote:
