Just got a new rig and I'm looking to build or buy some transport racks. I just built some rods holders for the new boat. I have a 1860 center console and I'm wanting to have the racks opposite of the trolling motor. I troll with 16 rods. 10-16ft and 6 14ft. The boat has a versa track system down the sides. I'll attach a picture for reference.Anyone have any good ideas. Thanks in advance

I like those rod holders you made there. Nice design!
Driftmaster has some, not sure what you need, what brand are those rod holders?

I think would rather have them stack vertical like 8 on each side. Guess I just need to draw something up then go from there.
I built them rods holders myself Blackhawk. I like them it was just time consuming I had to do most of the work while at work on the weekends.
I don't have any ideas. But dang what a boat. The hardware for the track might not be strong enough to hold 16 rods. I see a wire welder in your future. That boat reminds me of a time a moved my rod holder opposite my trolling motor and when I pulled up to the dock I couldnt figure out how to get out of the boat.
I run 7 rods (kayak), not sure how you keep up with 16.
:notworthy
Impressive!
That's a great point about it being opposite the trolling motor. Running 16 can be challenging at times for sure. I have a bracket that allows 2 people to fish up front, cuts the load down.
I can't remember who it was but someone on this site made custom rod racks to tour specs, he made some for my Pondtoon boat. I hope somebody can help you.
I just searched thru some of my old posts and found that the one who built mine uses the handle "callshy" Hope this helps.
Thanks for the information Blackhawk
That was me dude. We can do it several different ways, depends on exactly what the individual is looking for...Quote:

Nice looking stuff Scott, I will probably be in touch sometime pretty soon. Thanks again everyone
If anyone is interested in different styles of racks, I was browsing the miss board and they have a topic that's got lots of pictures of different people's transport rack. Got a couple ideas in my head. Might try to build something in next couple weeks.
