[#0000FF]The offer is always open to bring your ride down to my "tubeatorium" (3 car garage). We can put it up on the table and I can make suggestions as to options for including all of your "upgrades". Like a lot of things in life, it is simple once you have done it a few times but it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure everything out the first time.
The tough part for a lot of first time tooners is that all of them have different designs and frame layouts, etc. You gotta scratch your head and work on it a bit to get everything to fit firmly, conveniently and economically. And it usually takes at least some minor modifications after you try it on the water and find out what reality is.
If nothing else, you can redo some of your bulky addons to fit down into base holders...with screws and slots to anchor against rotation. That is how I have the new horizontal rod holders. They fit snugly down into anchored fittings...with the bases grooved to slide down over pins or screws in the fittings. The good thing about that setup is that you can break everything down neatly for transport without worrying about hanging up and breaking.
