Ignore the clutter but on the port side I have 6 rod racks that fold to the side. They may be factory - they were on the used boat I bought.

Starboard side have two hanging hook rod racks. There were on the boat too.

If you can't find them maybe you can get someone to make a template for you and have them made.

A great member on here had actually sent me a template last year I believe. I just never got around to making them. I will search tonight for the template and get back to you. If I find them I'll mail out a copy to you.

Where are you located? I store 6 Chaos sailfish rods with TLD15's on them. You would have to custom make them for your situation.

I used these guy to fabricate replacement panels under my helm. I stopped to pickup a piece of seafoam starboard. They took my old panels, cut and drilled new ones and I walked out with ready to install panels! I'm sure they don't do that every day but they did an awesome job and were reasonably priced.

The folding cabin racks were an option on the Sailfish, and I think they remain one on the Marlin. As such, you may be able to order them from a Grady dealer

Yes, they were an option. Not sure you can get them but shoot GW Cust Service a call. If you can't get, I'd ask if they could provide a cad drawing to have the fabricated. Worth a shot...
