Re: She's got a nice rack!

About now you're likely thinking "why leave the extra piece in the middle". Well, the starboard material was only 54" long and if I didn't seperate that into 2 sections I would have to custom order a huge sheet of starboard that would be very difficult to work with. Additionally, I wanted to give the whole thing an extra boxed brace right down the middle. The little pieces of starboard already mounted is where the factory installed rod holders. However, if you notice there are only holes for the rods to go into the aft section of the hull. Well, the only fishing poles I was able to fit there is my son's kiddie pole. You couldn't even fit the gaff hook in one of the rod holders. Really pissed me off to discover that fact. So, I took off the rod holders and left on the base pieces. I figured I could use them as a base to install further box framed supports for the gun rack.
