Hard to see on your pic, but do you still have the stock rodholder in front of the hawse pipes or did you mount the second pair of downriggers there? I have the original gunnels under the teak and the glass still has the rodholder holes. I was thinking of putting rodholders there again as I would only have to drill through the teak.

I closed up the holes for the original angled gunnel rod holders.. If you can expand the picture you will see the side riggers are mounted right next to the hawse pipe openings.
These riggers seem to produce the best so if we are only going to run 2 riggers then it will be them.
I smiled when I saw all the rod holders in your boat, but as they say , you can never have enough rod holders.The picture I posted was when I first set the boat up.
As of now I have 24 rod holders between the Arch, gunnels, and riggers.We run a lot of what we call junk rods that consist of- lead core, -dipsy divers on wire, -dipsey divers on braid, -and braided copper in 150' to 300' lengths. New york allows only 3 rods per angler, so with three to four of us on board we are normally running 9 to 12 rods.
