Nice. Congrats. It's not on the list but hopefully you got the trim tabs too. What's your opinion of the gull wing rod lockers?

Beautiful. Congrats & welcome.

Number 5 - trim tabs are indeed installed. They are amazing. Would never own a boat like this without them. Worth the money

The extra set of pole holders - useful. I wish they were located further up the bow but not possible. Due to the design.

Don't know how I missed that!! They're even in one of the pictures! Extra rod holders are an easy install. You just have to work up enough nerve to cut the mounting holes in that $54,000 brand new gunnel.

Sweet. Your success in life has paid off.

Juan, I like them for the intended use. You can access these without climbing in the boat. 

[demar002]

I like them. I was surprised that you can actually place the tip end of the rods into the stern

That's neat. How long a rod will fit? I'm limited to about 7'4" in my 2100. I guess I need to see the 228 rod box lids in person. I have to admit, they look great but it just seems to me that when open, the gull wing lids would put too much stress on the hinges and the small section of the lid where they are mounted which might lead to breaking the lid in rough water or if someone were to accidently lean or fall against one while it was open. Probably not the case since I haven't read the first report of anyone breaking a lid.

The lids are pretty thick although time will tell if the hinges hold. We only open ours when we get in the boat at the ramp and put the rods in the holders. You do have to be careful of the tips when putting a rod over 7’ in them.
