I like those rod holders you made there. Nice design!
Just got a new rig and I'm looking to build or buy some transport racks. I just built some rods holders for the new boat. I have a 1860 center console and I'm wanting to have the racks opposite of the trolling motor. I troll with 16 rods. 10-16ft and 6 14ft. The boat has a versa track system down the sides. I'll attach a picture for reference.Anyone have any good ideas. Thanks in advance

Driftmaster has some, not sure what you need, what brand are those rod holders?

I think would rather have them stack vertical like 8 on each side. Guess I just need to draw something up then go from there.
I built them rods holders myself Blackhawk. I like them it was just time consuming I had to do most of the work while at work on the weekends.
I don't have any ideas. But dang what a boat. The hardware for the track might not be strong enough to hold 16 rods. I see a wire welder in your future. That boat reminds me of a time a moved my rod holder opposite my trolling motor and when I pulled up to the dock I couldnt figure out how to get out of the boat.
I run 7 rods (kayak), not sure how you keep up with 16.
Impressive!
That's a great point about it being opposite the trolling motor. Running 16 can be challenging at times for sure. I have a bracket that allows 2 people to fish up front, cuts the load down.
I can't remember who it was but someone on this site made custom rod racks to tour specs, he made some for my Pondtoon boat. I hope somebody can help you.

I just searched thru some of my old posts and found that the one who built mine uses the handle "callshy" Hope this helps.
