Looking for rod holder advice
Well, I want to come up with custom rod holders for a buddy's boat.
It's a Regal Sebring. The space on the gunnels is VERY limited, almost non-existent. There just doesn't seem to be another location option. There are no rails or anything to mount to either. Here is a picture of a Sebring from the internet, and the red arrows show the only flat surface available to put rod holders.

The rod holders will also have to be easily removable as they would interfere with the cover on the boat.
Here is a picture of the model I came up with. The vertical rod would be towards the bow

This would give him the ability to run 6. Could even mount 2 behind the motor box to make it 8.

4 people on the boat would be very crowded, and 8 rods would be crowded also. But it'd allow some versatility as far as maybe spreading them out when running 4 or 6.
Anyone have any thoughts or anything to add?
