just put your rods(old ones) on the front deck that way when they fall off in the water you have an excuse to buy new ones!!

just like getting re aquainted with an old friend....looks nice young Will, best of luck w/ her. What are the plans for the G-3 ?

nice deal willy. good luck with her.

nice boat. I actually had a 1992 that had rod boxes but they were very loose I like it with out them.

She is a beaut willy......:clap: Glad you are back in the club.....That is the club of guys who poor tons of money into really old boats:nut::beer:

Good for you Willy, you can't take that money with you, so enjoy it now.

Very happy for you Willy! Nice lookin' boat there. Very clean.

Thanks guys for all the comments, much appreciated. Just got back from four days in Cape May with the CEO and family.
Phester the G3 is alive and doing well and I am keeping that sWeet thang. She is my fresh water fish killer and I use it here near my home on two fresh water impoundments and the delaware river.
The as yet unnamed V20 will be on post down in the Atlantic Highlands area of Raritan Bay and I will be looking starting tommorow for the spot.

Game plan is
1. New electronics for her, GPS/Sonar and VHF which she has none.
2. Find out what I need to do to have the bildge pump run on auto also, the owner has it on manual only. It is a fairly new pump.
3. Find out who to see and how much for a hard top, want one on this year if possible.
4. Full service of my own filters/decarb/lower unit and a new battery.

End of season
1. dual battery system, plenty of room but none in yet
2. If not enough rod storage with hard top then I will be investigating the best in wall rod storage for it too.
3.
get rid of passenger side lounge seat and put something there that will hold a good helm type seat and storage along with possibly a decent live well setup HELLO SKOOLS GET TO WORK

I have 4 welded rod holders and to adjustable clamp on's giving me 6 on the top.
I have 4 in the gunnles, 4 across the back, and 3 on the rail for the bow guys.
Thats 17 rod holders!! With 4 on the side walls I use for boat hook, gaff, ect... ect...

if you are looking for good quality fiberglass side rod pockets and other parts like that for a boat you guys got any recommendations source wise?

Like the fiberglass box seats type of thing also.

And stainless gunnel mount rod holders, as this boat only has two of the original wellcraft plastic types?

And was there ever a consensus on what degree gunnel mount we can get in there as far as angle they can face out?
