Rod Holders for 2006 Tahoe Q8I

[Luis Navarro]

I recently purchased a 2006 Tahoe Q8i. Wondering if anyone has installed flush mount rod holders along the rear gunnels as there is a rounded contour. Or if Tracker makes special rod holders for this boat? Any help out there will be greatly appreciated.

Any chance that you have a photo you could post, i have wondered what something like that would end up looking like with a rod or two in it.

No i dont. Like i said, i screwed it up by putting too far back. I took them off and put them up front. Dont drill untill you make sure you are going to have clearance for any moving parts or hatches

Only pic I had on my phone... this is a Q5 but you get the idea. I did not compare to see if the Q8 was laid out similar. This still allows me to open the hatch with 4 rods in the holders as well (I need to rotate the outers first). These are the Cabela's quick release holders with the flush mount bases. Install was easy, took a few hrs though.
