Two things that I would have would be mounting points for the radio antenna and all round night light. Do you already have a bimini? If not you you could incorporate one into the design of the rocket launcher.

No Bimini but was looking at maybe incorporating a small flat top shade so the driver and passenger have a bit of protection but still leaves the back open for fishing and casting.

You got no side pockets?

Then you could put your rods in the side pockets, have to be better than an ugly rocket launcher unless you have a special reason for needing one.

Fed that wont work easily. The side pockets of any boat are cluttered with all sorts of things. And are too short to store one rod per side anyway.

Why do you think rocket launchers are ugly?

I tend to agree with Fed - the only people that think rocket launchers look good are the Taliban.

Is it possible to incorporate rod holders into your bait board setup?

Any ideas from here:

I did consider that but I was looking to have a small flat shade top up the front as well. I have two rod holders down the back already but I use them for a floating baits or when trolling. It's more of a storage purpose out of the way of everything
