Default Re: Truck (tool) Box Mounted Rod Holder

Thanks guys. Craig, I really like the one you found, mostly for the price. I met with a guy who has a very small operation locally. Coincidentally his whole family is from your neck of the woods. His Dad is a commercial shellfish captain and commutes from here to Newport News and is presently dragging off of Connecticut. His sons name is Raymond Martin.

Anyway, we've got something similar to a whale tail, with 7 anodized, gimbaled rocket launchers, set at 60*, and a custom installation mounted inside the box. It will look pretty sharp, and be removable. Still waiting for the quote, but I'm afraid I could have had Birdsall build a standard leaning post for about the same price. Still have not committed but believe I have found what I want. Could not fit 8 launchers within 90* bends. Would have been just over 5" between and I don't need the reels fighting each other for 1200 miles to the Cape. Thanks all. Mike.
