Planning on replacing the rod boxes on my '91 V-20. Both of these companies offer them. Any recommendations or comments to help me make a decision? The ones from SSI look nice. Thanks, Barry

Check with flounder pounder to make sure they have what you're looking for. They may advertise products but they may not have any in stock. Flounder Pounder is not as large as marine connection (Ft. Pierce, Fl.) or Boathouse (Melbourne, Fl.). I've installed SSI rod boxes in an 85 V20 I used to own. I had to cut very little, but the quality was excellent. They are manufacturers not a company who buys out marine store inventories.

I visit their store often, and I've called on different things they advertise and they did not have the items I needed. I know SSi isn't cheap, however their items are excellent quality. As I mentioned, Marine Connection is huge. You could spend hours in their store.

Mellbourne, Fl. about 20 miles north of Franco. My job allows me to visit St. Lucie County quite a bit.
