Hello,

I want to install some form of rocket tube rod holders on the roof of my 19 c-dory angler. I was hoping to find something that would bolt across the two roof rails , but am unable to find anything. Am thinking a 4 rod holder would work for me.
Does anyone know of anywhere in the Vancouver BC area that I can buy or have fabricated some.
Anyone have photos from your boat ?

Thanks
 
Here is who made mine: http://www.pooderbuilt.com

Not cheap so you know. Don't recall price on top of my head but close to $1000.00 if I recall right. Maybe more now.

Good luck.


 
The CE Smith two-way top mount rod holders can be mounted directly to the hand rails of the boat. I have two on each rail on my boat. They are about $100/each but they are very well made and require no additional mods/holes in the cabin roof. If you wrap the rails with a bit of Rescue Tape prior to install they won't even leave a mark on the rail if you decide to remove them later.

You might think about some Scottys mounted in tracks on top of your cab in tracks that mold to the curvature of the cab. See my photo album for my CD 16: OPA. I've been using these type of Scottys for two years with great results. The rod holders are adjustable, sturdy, and roomy. I use them to transport big Penn Senators loaded with copper wire, lead core, and stainless cable out on Lake Michigan with great results. Good luck.
