[Implied question]
Q1: where can a drawing or a sketch be found that shows the dimensions and other information for installing rod holders on the forward face of the center console on a 1983 Montauk 17


BACKSTORY
I recently purchased a 1983 MONTAUK 17. There are no rod holders on the forward face of the center console. I have searched online for drawings or sketches.


[Moderator's note: removed a question that posed a survey of readers to discover who might know the answer to an implied question. Please just ask directly for the information being sought, rather than proposing a survey to find out which readers know the answer. Also removed a declaration that changed the topic of the thread to what other changes could be made to the boat in the future.]

An aftermarket vendor offers rod holders designed to be mounted on the forward face of the center console of a classic MONTAUK 17. See

The linked resource above also contains useful information about the installation process. There are also links to "Installation Instructions" and to an "Installation Video."

jimh--thank you for the reply. I have seen those [rod holders], and I possess the skills and equipment to make them in the shop for considerably less.

I want to say Joe Kritz over at WhalerCentral had drawings, but that site has been 404-NOT FOUND unreachable for quite some time.

How would you make the white tubes with the flared ends that are the main part of the rod holder?

If you could deduce the length of the those tubes, you could scale the rest of the components based on the tubes.
