[QUOTE="edge540, post: 247978, member: 6375"] The hatch lids are 4'-8" and the rod tubes go 3'-4" into the bow to hold an 8' rod. The whole system works better then I ever planned in my head, rods slide in and out super easy and there is no chance of damage in transport. There is plenty of room in there for back packs and sweat shirts and the benches are a great bench to sit on while fishing or tying up. M boat is a 16' wide model so your hatches will depend on the size of your decks minus whats left in the middle. You could certainly make the hatches on the benches cut into part of the front or rear deck on a shorter boat to keep the large hatch size. Thanks, I never seem to get the last laugh in these situations but I did get a call from the detective to come ID some tools today. His @#$%$## but is in the county lockup and I was able to prove ownership of tools found in his truck from ser# VS my receipts and picture tool inventory. He is looking at some hard time but 99% of my tools were not found. I hate thieves!!! He admitted to selling them to support his drug habit... [/QUOTE]
