Default Rod Storage

I have a 2004 Sea Fox 195 Bay Fisher and the only way to store my rods is vertical on each side of the console. I would like to store them on the side of walls and I noticed some Rod Savers on eBay but I was kind of hoping to find something a little cleaner looking. I have looked into some inserts but you have to cut a big hole and it only stores a few rods. Any recommendations?

I'm not familiar with that boat. A google image search showed one with completely flat gunwhales. If that's the case nothing will look very clean.

Can you post a pic of your interior?

That is exactly what it looks like, I can get one when I get home. That was my fear, something sticking out looking funky....haha

I had a similar boat that had the gunnel side cut out and an insert installed. I had room for 4 rods. This is not a picture of my boat but you can see the insert.

I was looking at those but was worried about cutting a huge hole in the boat....lol. I like the idea of being able to store them out of the way.

Default Gunnel

That is not a structural part of the boat. Cutting it out will not make your boat weaker. The rolled gunnel boats don't even have a liner like that.

I know, it is just the idea of sawing a hole in a perfectly good boat...lol

Default Sawing a Hole in the Boat

Advice given to me when I was building my boat -It is nothing but a thang!


Measure twice, make sure there is nothing behind that you will cut (wires, gas hose, etc), make your cuts, and if you don't like it, glass it back in.

Default Boat Modification

This is not my boat! Way off topic but if you are interested in cutting up a boat and adding 5' of length to it after you spent 2 years building it get out your Sawzall and check this out:

I think I would have a panic attack if I had to do that....lmao. My rod storage all of the sudden isn't so bad.
