Depends on who your fishing with. If it's a pro/am sort of event you don't want to hold him up because you've got carp scattered all over the boat. If it's a buddy then bring all you want. If it's a good friend he won't care.

My partner brings 8 but 4 of them have rod sleeves and stay in rod box. No problem!

This is a difficult question to answer, but most replies are on target. I think the best answer is depends on the type boat and the lake yer fishing. I personally find 4 rods the best number to bring. Seems to be the most manageable, although 5rods is what I usually bring. Know how your going to fish. My sixth rod is a broom stick swimbait rod that is rarely used unless we are going into the weeds or the backs of creeks.MOst waters we are not throwing Fork and Falcon sized baits. Spinning rods seems to be the most cumbersome to stow, but never leave without it, too valuable a tool at some point during the day. Just remember YOU don't have the convenience of a rod locker.
Stick Jackets will help you to keep from getting tangled just don't have them all over the floor and always be ready to get on plane before the boater is!!

Depends on how organized you fish. I'll take 8 on my buddy's boat. I respect the fact that it is his boat and I treat every outing like I am a guest, even though I ain't ever giving up that seat! lol

If I'm back seating with someone I bring 3-4. I have to retie a lot but it keeps it easier to navigate the limited space we have to share.
Guys that come with me, I really don't care. You can bring as many as you can keep out of my way lol.

Just fished the back of 20' Champ today and brought 5. That turned out to be a good number with the couple extra bags I brought.
