I almost went the hard top way a few times! I like the way they look, I love to have the rod storage!
And yes CTT when you get the enclouser she will be the balls!!
As far as rod holders go I have 6 in the gunnels, 4 on the engin cover, But thats a lot of rods still in the way, so I came uo with this, It golds 5 rods on the out side away from everything.
Never lost a rod or had any issues. If I have the Bimini up it is a pain to get a rod, but not hard.
