2017 Caracel- I use rod socks so the first thing I do on any boat is remove the forward tube holders, leaving the “butt end” holder in place. Works much much better that way including plenty of freedom for spinning rigs. With that said I can comfortably stack a dozen rods in my Caracel dedicated rod storage. 15 is tight. I also store another 10 or so in one of the side lockers. Last boat was a Puma. Love the deck room and the deck on my Caracel!
