Default Rocket Launcher Dimensions?

I have a 28 ft Topaz with a tower. This boat/tower was built without an array of rod holders bulit into it. The tower was recently painted so I don't want to use the typr of rod holder that attaches to the existing structure. There is room to add an additional structure for the rod holders. I bought 20 rod holders from a guy on the west coast Allcoast site that have the mounting tab on them. Now all I need to do is design a system and start bending some aluminum.

I plan to install rod holders on two levels

What spacing should I use? I have a variety of Penn International.

What angle should I use for them?

Thanks

Bill

Here is what I did for a custom rod holder that fits my Int' 80's and 50's and most of my other rods. Good luck ......

Stevebaz, That is exactly what I have in mind.

Do you still remember the spacing between the rod holders and the angle that was used?

I do but I am up in Oregon and I live in California and your going to have to wait for a week until I get to the original CAD drawing so send to you. E-mail me as a reminder at

SBAZ@Prodigy.net and I will certainly do that for you.

I am in the middle of taking delivery of the 19th HOLE with my partner and 1400 miles away from home. I will get it to you if you want to see the technical draft?

No Problem at all I will be glad to send you a copy of the CAD design for a basis of your system.
