I did see a boat Sat. at the ramp that had a triple rod holder that was clamped to the top rail of the boat. Have seen some online but WOW are they proud of them.

I own the same boat......and love it.....all 40hp. It’s a long lining crappie catching machine .......on a bad day.

I’m beyond middle aged so I do admit you must have your balance about you as you move around this deck style boat.
The size of the boat makes it great to launch alone, and mostly fishing alone I can see it fishing two guys fairly comfortable. 3 folks with a 40 will be about your max......and 3 guys will be tight.

Being aware of shifting weight is a plus when you step into the corners to grab a pole but really not that big a deal.
I push with 14 footers out front and can long line 8-10 lines out back in a very manageable approach.

I wish I could help you with the set up but mine is Pole holders and transport racks installed on top of base plates screwed into the wood decking.

All in all.......I love the thing......its perfect for me. BEST OF LUCK C-D!! Have some fun!

No drill- I haven't done it, put I have seen a spider rig set up made from pvc, that slipped over the front seat post. Triangled out towards the bow.I'm sure a quick google search would bring up some pics. Wouldn't be permanent and cheap too.
