[quote Tjet]You will love the Thunderjet, I really have enjoyed mine, good choice on having the dealer install most of the options, I almost cried when I started drilling holes in mine I put four cannons on mine also, however after the first time out, I have only used 3 I was worried about getting the line on the forward mounted one on the trolling motor side in the prop when the wind was pushing me around, now I just stack on that side, one other thing, after almost losing a nice pole and reel when a large laker hit on my previous boat,I went with the Folbe rod holders on this one, the are made out of much better material than the fish on or cannons its more like kydex like a lot of holsters are made from now. Kinda pricey though, enjoy the new ride![/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I'm getting the Cannon Magnum 10 STX DRs with an extendable boom and will have no problems with getting away from the kicker motor prop (I hope []). And thanks for the tip on the Folbe products - I had never heard of them before. I prefer RAM rod holders (used them on the Tracker for 11 seasons with nary a problem or lost rod). It looks like Folbe makes a universal rail mount that will accept the RAM base and the Folbe looks like a better rail mount than then the RAM setup which uses a u-bolt instead of the two face plates used on the Folbe. I had already ordered the Cannon rail mounts and was going to be stuck with using the Cannon holders, but if I can cancel or return the Cannon mounts I'll go with the Folbe/RAM setup.[/#800000][/font]
