Yeah, great idea especially when you are short on storage space, but there are better ways to spend the money. Has anyone tried to make their own? Any pics?

Overtons has a different/cheaper version.

Link doesn't work....be interested to see alternatives as those are pricy, but there are very nice nonetheless.

I plan on making a set out of 1/4" chrome moly tubing and then powder coating for the finish. I will mount mine under the engine hatch on my 27 Fever. Right now, 2 8" and 2 4" bumpers plus my anchor take up the whole space under the back seat and I want it back.

I'll be sure to post up some pics when I'm done.

I bought mine from a custom machine shop that makes some nice custom billet marine stuff. He has some real nice fender holders. Can be stacked for multiple units. I don't remember the name. I will look-up the paperwork and post it here later. I believe the price was not too bad either.

ROTAX - thanks man, that'd be some good info if you can find it.

Shouldn't they make a buck or two on them? Do you think they make 1000's of these....or even 100 a year? It's not really THAT pricy for what it is. Fully machined aluminum, plated, warranteed and made in the USA.....not China!

Maybe they will toss in a cup holder or a T-Shirt like Trick Marine did. :cool-smiley-027::cool-smiley-027::cool-smiley-027::grinser010::grinser010:

Those are the ones. They have them in different sizes.

I've seen people make them out of starboard. If done right they look nice and blend in with the hull.

These are real nice pieces. I will post a pic later. I bought three holders and a bracket system to gang them up with. Polished on the holders and candy purple on the gang bracket.
