[QUOTE="alumacrafty, post: 335799, member: 13092"] Jonah, I went back to some of your original posts from 2010 to find the drawings of your sliding rail system. I now understand it better and, with the drawings, could take it to a fabricator, yet unknown. I was going to PM you but I'm new to this and I'm not sure I know how. So, here is my next question: Is it possible you could post or PM me some closeup pictures of how the rail system mounts to your boat and how the rod holders (what brand?) are mounted to the sliders? Also some specs on the tubing you used would be useful. I don't want the sliders to snap if/when I ever catch the big one. (I do know a guy who could build this for me with steel tubing for the price of the material). I love the symmetry of your system but I'm thinking of offsetting the rails so that one is further forward than the rear one so that one fisherman could sit ahead of the middle seat. I sort of enjoy rednecking my boat but your rail system is topnotch and that is one feature I hope to make first class. It will be the first of its kind up here in NW Iowa. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
