    Does anyone know who makes the rod holders that are on the aluminum structure of the Post's or who makes the aluminum structure itself?

    I am looking to add a second row of rod holders on the aluminum structure beneath the current row and would like everything to tie in as much as possible.

    Thanks - Jay

    Those were fabricated by whoeever made your hard top. Any good hardtop/tower builder can make a second back bar with the rod holders to match what you have. You won't be able to find them at your local boating supply store most likely.

    I am looking to add 7 more on the lower level similar to the picture below of the Whitewater Outfitters boat. Definitely want them all to match. I have tried calling Post a few times but they don't pickup. I believe that the rod holders are from Rupp since the outriggers and rod holders in the salon are all Rupp as well as the Rod holders in the cockpit.

    The rod holders are welded to the back bar. Either way, you need a tower builder to fabricate the lower level back bar and weld the rodholders to it.

    No doubt. I have a local tower fabricator who is going to do the work. I am designing the structure in solidworks for him to build but I just am trying to verify the who made the actual rod holders to make sure they match. Fabricating the rest is straightforward.

    That's a 50 Hat, guess an 03/04 make, since you've pockets on your hull and big quartz lights on hardtop.
    Almost sure it's a Pipewelders hardtop. ;)

    Check out Taco Marine or Taco Metals for the rod holders. It will still have to be fabbed up

    Here is how the new Rod Rack for the Flybridge came out. I added 7 more for a total of 13.

    That looks mint, you can never have too many rods on those offshore trips

    I have no clue about SF yachts and game fishing but I like the expression Rocket Launcher. I think, they really could be used for that purpose :D.

    Exactly. In past years, it would be a mess at night setting up chunk rods and sword baits as we have 16 rods out and no place to put them. This will help clean the deck up a lot.

    They are from Rupp, same as what Post used when they built my boat.
