A fool and his money are always parted black hole

This is one of the commercial rod holders. I like 'em - clean and efficient.
I wonder what the layout for a 14 foot fishing boat is supposed to be?

Since I know so little about fishing, I think this is a live well. Seems like water is pumped in from the pump at the transom and the overflow goes? The little red-top thing is supposed to be an aerator?
This is up front and I now have most of the upper deck wood cut out, the wood/carpet in the bottom removed and still need to shovel all the crap out.
Don't really know what it is. the angle bracket seems to be the base of a trolling rod holder. The vertical seems to be a long ago swivel seat base.

Never have learned to keep the most recent post at the end, so I'll continue as I know bass ackward. This is the wood removed from the boat bottom and the base for the humming bird module. It will be moved, but where? It's sort of under a seat bracket/swivel seat for some reason.

OK, I went and did it! Bought a project fishing boat. It looks like a boat, but it's rotted away on the inside and . . .
I does have a humming bird that may or may not work.
Don't know if I'll ever find out what all the holes are for. the plug on the left is to drain the water from the inside. The opening on the right seems to be a water supply for the live well. I don't know if it's for bait or fish.
This home built rod holder is one of several installed on the boat. Nasty looking, but seems functional for cat fishing.



Of course, a battery didn't come with the snake nest mess. Likely, I'll need to run all new wires and get some corrosion inhibitor on the fasteners, etc.
