After thinking about getting some rod holders and my fish finder on the fishcat 9 pontoon, I got to thinking it would be nice to use the stuff off my float tube since it just snaps off. So I mocked up a set up with cam straps. They will hold up to 300 pounds so I am sure they will work on this to get some Ideas.
After I test this I might add some glue on D rings to attach them. The rod holder will be a stretch to get to, I know that will be a small problem but everything will work with the oars so I might have to live with it to make things simpler and less expensive. The biggest thing I like about it is not having yet another completely different set up. To rig something for just this boat I would need another transducer. Those will run about 50 to 60 dollars. I can get a set of 4 glue on D rings for about that same price. I am thinking about using it this weekend to see how it goes. Ron
