Thanks Mark. I used to have a 20' way back before I took up fly fishing, so rod length was not an issue. I'm back in the market for a 20' again. Everything comes full circle. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not too worried about the bend. I'll probably put some outdoor carpeting panels up in the bow section against the inside of the hull to protect the tips from vibration, scratching, etc. The vertical rod holders work well and I don't mind them when in transit, but it is nice to have most of your rods out of the way when you're fishing so that you don't foul a line or worse on vertical ones.
