For Stock Rigs Only

No, the driver wanted it right there. Just didn't want the floor trim cut and hacked like the previous guys did it. We took out the console, notched it, put the new trim in, some black gasket seal around the notched out console, and put it back where it had been. So now the console sits "above" the floor trim thanks to the notch. No picture of the finished product since the customer showed up for it as soon as we finished.

 

Surprised it pulled it with all the lights on…

 

Should have done it yourself.
It was a teaching moment.

Hiya Smoke
Likewise you and yours.

 

Hello
My name is Mike, and I’m a Rodaholic.
Going on 30 years and I can’t stop.
I have over 25 fishing rods.
My reasoning is I HATE CHANGING LURES.
The situation changes immediately and it requires a different setup.
By the time you re-tie you have floated pass.
I have struggled with this for years.
A big problem is that my boat is not big enough.
I love my boat.
Anymore than 4 rods on the “deck” and I run out of room and get tangled up.
Been toying with this for many years.
So, I fabbed up a solution to ease my pain.
Water test common soon.

I built a stacked rod holder…

PART ONE.

I can have 8 rods on it, 4 more in the vertical holders if I have a fishing partner for transport.
The cool feature is I can still access my rod locker under the unit where I store specialty rod setups.

Really pleased with the unit so far.
If it passes the water test, I’ll stain it with decking stain I have that’s a close match to
the carpet.

Rod slots


Dual hinges

Lower deck




Upper “tier” lock

 

PART TWO

Top part folds vertical for access to lower bay.


Access to rod locker




Ready for action

 

Yo, sup???
