Hey guys, i want to share my rod saver installation with ya'll. My boat is a Weldbilt 1548 mod-v and i use it for duck hunting and fishing. I use it so much that i dont winterize it...atleast for the next month when my first child is expected.
Generally the Weldbilts come with no floor but they are a great company that takes custom orders and will do just about anything you want them to. When you order a floor it also comes with sides but i requests to have no sides installed and just the aluminum diamondplate floor. Which is why the ribs are exposed.
I picked up my much wanted rod savers after brainstorming and i decided to go for it. I will either install the golf bag tubes for the longer rod tips OR cut out a "pocket" in the rear bench. Let me know your opinion on that, please if i do it that way i will get the factory Trim-lok molding that Weldbilt uses on their edges for the hole. But either way i do it i will not be removing too much foam.
I layed out a few of my rods of my rods at different lengths to determine where i want the rod savers. I got them from Bass Pro for about $23
