rocket launcher

Hi Everyone

Just wondering if anybody has opinions/advice on fitting a rocket launcher to a 5.4 Allycraft ?

It's not my boat it's my brother in laws ( ours :) ) but we've been trying to find a solution to rod storage while on the boat for ages but we have never really sorted it. We did fit a pretty el cheapo rod holder to the inside of the boat but it's just not good enough.

The problem is the boat is plenty big enough to have them resting in front of the seats when we're traveling and fishing but when the clears are up ( which is all the time ) there just is simply not enough room.

So anyway  my suggestion was to look at fitting a set of rocket launchers above the bimny frame so the clears can still go up but I have no idea where to start looking or even if it'll be worth doing it at all ?

Cheers, Chris

I had the same issue as well. Greg from Preston marine made up a set of rocket launchers for my 5.2 aly westerncraft. He made it hinged so that when towing for long distances I can fold it down. Very happy with the outcome on mine. PM your email to me and I will send through some pics for you if you wish. I also have the old el cheapo launcher still out the back which I may be willing to part with .
