Hi..

I have a 1990 Bass tracker I recently purchased and am restoring. One thing I would like to do is find a place to stow/mount my one piece 7' rods. I noticed the new models at BassPro have a round opening going under the left bow section, with rod mounts on the port side of the mount. This allows a one piece rod to be stored, with the tip going into a tube opening. I would like to replciate this on my boat. In order to do so, I would have to drill through the carpet and vertical aluminum wall near the left side, inserting 2-4 tubes. Has anyone else attempted this and if so, what tubes did you use, and what drill,etc did you use to make the circular cut outs?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Regards
Joe

Ayuh,.... I'd think PVC tubing, such as plumbing, or conduit grade would work, 'n a holesaw will cut whatever sized hole ya want...
