Where to stow too many rods

[frankie g]

When I go offshore I guess I bring too many rods, and when I need to clear the **** pit I end up tossing 3 or 5 rods into the cabin. does anyone have a suggestion on some sort of rod racks or rod storage "IN " the cabin of a 2302. I'm trying to stay away from putting rod racks on the outside of the cabin because that will lessen the path of the walk around, and I need a clear path around the boat to fight and follow the fish. Suggestions needed.

In the 2102 there is 2 rod holders in the cabin... I carry about 6-8 rods (just lazy don't want to carry it back and forth) I cut out a piece of starboard and overlaped the original single rod holder.
port side

starboard side

Wow thats nice! I have a 2004 and has no rod holders in the cabin...I'm trying to think how I would do something like that.

I looked everywhere to find a rod mount that will fit under there but all i saw was the overhead mount or the wall mount that was just way too big... so I had couple of starboard pieces in the garage and some power tool so I started cutting.

2102/2002 have a single rod holder in the cabin (one in port and one in starboard side). I just took the pieces that I cut out and attached to the stock rod holder...

If don't have any I guess you can attach a SS bracket. or if your going to make it out of wood you can make a "T" on top. Take a piece of paper and make a templet of the curves on the hull so it fit's perfectly.
