Working on the bow rail

[dbetterred]

I am thinking about putting rod holders in that same spot. How is the reach to get the rods out? I was trying to mock it up in my boat before buying the rail mount holders and it seemed a little long. But I desperately need more vertical rod storage

I have both (v-20 inbd/outbd & outbd with 200hp merc) on my inbd/outbd I added rocket launchers across the stern (port to stbd) but I'm thinking of manufacturing a set of rocket launchers that would run aft to fwd and be secured in the rod holders on the gunnells. I'm doing the calc's to see if making them out of bow rails would hold if you had 3+ fish on them weighing 125lbs total.
