I received a pm request for pics of the front of my boat set-up. Could not figure how to send them in a pm so I am making this post. I hope it helps. Others may want to add pics to this post of their boat set-up (rod holders, TM, etc).

Very nice setup. Mine is the same except I have the Driftmaster T-250 system. 5 minutes and I can go from spider-rigging to Long-lining.
hobo junk
Here is a picture of my setup. I use the driftmaster crow foot, so nothing permanently mounted to the boat.

Thanks...I wanted a dedicated crappie boat when I was looking to buy, and the Pro Team 175 TF Coastal fit the bill...alot of thought went into setup and it is a joy to fish out of. Plus its easy to clean and has the bonus that I can fish the flats in the Gulf for Speckled Trout with it as well
I have a HBird 999 SI on the front currently, but want to move it to the back and replace the 597 DI I have there...then place a Helix 10 on the front.
Thank Guys.
Hotwater, thank you for starting this thread
What brand rod holders are in the first picture, I believe it's hot waters boat.
I recognize those pole holders!

I used PVC rod holders for many years! They work!

First time using the Driftmaster Crappie Stalkers today. THEY ARE FANTASTIC! If you bump a rod, only one rod will be disturbed. So much easier to detect which pole has a bite. Some of the best money I've spent!
Just got mine.
The tracker has what they call versatrack rail. A 1/4 carriage head bolt fits in track so no drilling. I got some 2" angle iron and bolted the base plates to and the angle is bolted to rail. you can loosen bolts on rail and slide base plate toward back of boat for trolling.
