Hey
@JDM.
We have a 2003 model. Things haven’t changed much since then. The ones built in the last 5-8 or so years have a different helm with an area for a recessed screen.
Ours didn’t have that. The lowrance HDS 9 can be seen from the downriggers easily and is just to the left of your line of sight when driving.
View attachment 59200
Rod holders we have the 247 scotty rod holders under the downriggers which hold one rod on each side when travelling plus 4 stainless Scotty rod holders attached to the rail on the hardtop - 2 on each side. Plus two sets of robocups (see my post in the buy/sell forum on this site.)
You might be better to mount a rocket launcher on the hardtop...
Hope this helps.
