Thanks y'all new to this I wanted ideas ad easy way out.
But me and my partner in crime picked up the pipe benders and the mig and went to town. Using Bimini top latches on the sides we constructed a trolling tower for about 15.00 bucks. Then we built custom cooler racks to fit our coolers very tight.

Bad weather stopped us but the last thing is the FF/gps/ front rod holder tower (small and sleek)

Since we have the fx ho (blue/silver) we decided to paint the rack/towers black to match the black trim. All together we spent 40.00 max on everything and it has turned out amazing and strong.
The rear towers will have 4 holders and 2 angled (45 degree) and it's so stable you can stand and lean against to cast.

what does it look like??

We need pics!!!!

Ill get some pictures up by this weekend. We haven't got the front rack done yet but I will show y'all some in-finished pictures to give the ideas.

All I can say is if you have 1% of any mechanically inclined skill you can do this.
I'll get them up as soon as possible.

Sorry I'm taking so long with the pictures. We have come to a slight bump in the road. We have metal racks and were having trouble finding metal rod holders? Were looking for galvanized 2" holders. (reason being is we don't have a tig welder) but hipefully this afternoon I'll post some unfinished pictures

It's been a long time waiting for the pic

check this cooler/gas/rod holder out... building this weekend and will let everyone know time, $, and durability once complete... thanks

i think the base of the design is a bit of an overkill. that's a lot of money spent on the T's when it can be much simpler. although the advantage to the design is that it will be stronger, unless you plan on riding in ROUGH waters all the time, there's really no need for so much material.

just my 2 cents...
