I recall a fella in St. Augustine who had a mid-sized Mako with a cabin,
maybe a 24 footer? Anyway, he went to one of tee-top makers, who welded
him up a device that slipped into gunnel rodholders on each side of his
boat and had 10 rod holder tubes bolted onto it.

He mostly fished for whiting, and rarely had tangles. Me, I would have
had the Gordian knot of all creation.

Hell, I can get that knot with only four rod holders! What I'd like to
have is a
radar arch with some rocket launchers on it, but the local guy at Deale
wants
about $2700 to do it! I've seen some on the net for about a thousand, but
they
look like crap.

Try Atlantic Towers. Some of the West Coasters have bought from them and
like them.

Thanks, I'll give them a look.

I kinda like the 'fishing arch' for $1490, but that's a big commitment to make.
I'll think on it.

BTW, it's he http://www.atlantictowers.com/products.htm

Thanks. Glad to hear some folks like them. Wonder if anyone on the group has
used them? Anyone???
