CFT - thats gonna be a nice cc

Here's a shot of the rod set up on the rear of "Jolly Green" and an overall side view.

Thanks mj.
good looking rigs guys.
I am in the process of making some more rod holders now. I should have it half way rigged up in a week or so. I plan on moving my console to the front of the boat in the center so ill have more floor space. But that part of the project keeps getting put off by the fish bite lol. I switched things up in the back my boat this is a before pic. Still undecided which way I like it better.

My two cents. My Duck Hunting/Fishing Boat rigged for catfishing. Made the front rod holders, made the T for the back rod holders. Bought the rod holders on the back T's. I can unscrew them and mount them spread out along both sides for fishing as well. Made the bench seat for driving, fishing, trolling. I can take it out for rigging the boat blind for duck hunting. Made the PVC rod storage rack for my rods. Stores the rods in the garage, pick up carry to the boat and strap in for boat storage too. When done unstrap and carry back to the garage. The pvc pole has a UV LED light at the top for night fishing. Fishing rods have hi-vis line, plus since this photo I painted the top 2' of the poles with hi vis flouresent paint. They shine with the UV light. Very easy to see them. The UV attracts bugs, but being 10' up they are not bad down in the boat. Besides fishing and hunting I enjoy all the projects that I can dream up to make during the off season. I think I have as much fun doing them as actually hunting and fishing. Well maybe not that much!!!!

Pretty cool to see everybodys ideas

It really is Mike! That why I came here before I started going wild with the drill lol. Very nice boat you have WF. I like that bench seat I may have to make one. What did you use for the hinges? Looks like a regular boat seat.

Thanks, I ordered them off of Ebay. There is a good selection on there and the best price I could find.

WF his that a 18ft boat.

Yes

What size Merc you running on there? Looks like a hoss.
I get around pretty good with the 48 I have, but if you get 4ppl in the boat it gets kinda boggy.

It is a 90hp, 4 stroke. Plenty of power for this boat. Top end is 42 with the factory prop. That is the fastest I have had it by myself. With 4 people it is about 37. Fast enough for me. Very quite and good MPG. It does look big on this boat. A 90 is the highest rating for this length model.
