I have a 2002 Bass Tracker Pro Team 165 boat that has a single fishing rod storage area on the port side that can only contain 6'6" rods and I have more 7' rods than 6'6" rods and I'm trying to figure out how to extend this rod locker to fit these longer rods? I don't want to cut before I know that there might be a easier way to do this.. Any help would be great! Keep on Fishin'.
