Scotty’s will work but if you can afford racheting rod holders like cannons, they are worth it. I mainly fish Lake Michigan in my 25’er with Erie once a year. The racheting allows my to run wire dipsies.

another must for electronics is a radar. They can also get really expensive but there are some lower cost stand alone units that work just fine. I used to fish in dense fog and dark w/o radar, got one then realized how extremely lucky I was before. Radar can save your life! Bonus is, I can launch when everyone is waiting for the fog to lift…

my 2 cents.

BOAT = bust out another thousand (but it’s awesome good fun rigging a boat).
