The key thing to remember is open floor space. When you got that 'nook kicking your ass, its no time to be trippling on tackel boxes & spare rods. To achieve this you need to keep things very organized in smaller boat like this. Don't know the layout of your boat but spare rods almost always along the side rails, net anyplace up front, top of bow, in a cuddy etc. , all else fails along the side. I always modify my saltwater boats with some sort of wood cap over I/O motor well or on top of stern rail. This for cutting bait on and if big enough, where I set my crab pots when I pull them up. That Lowrance, up front on that size of boat. But think of where/how people will be sitting when the rod fires off. Make sure it's not placed where will obstruct someone (or get knocked off) making a mad scramble for "fish-on". Again, keep the aisles open for that mad dash.
