Sorry if I was unclear as to where I'm at in this process. I've only ordered the rod holders. I have not received them yet, nor have I bought any tubes. I plan to check out the golf club options, as well as other ideas. I am happy to share my install as I go along. I've been working on this boat since November. Trolling motor install, chart plotter install, aux power panel in helm, onboard batt chargers, cobra jet, swim platform mats, porta toilet, trailer dolly. Boat has yet to touch water. There's a lot that needs to be done to make this a fishing boat. The lack of a real storage compartment is crazy to me, but, this is the boat that the wife and I compromised on. I think we'll be happy with it. Really the only option I see, for rod storage other than the 4 provided, is using the front port storage locker. It's open inside, allowing rod tubes to be run at full length all the way back on the inside. The starboard side is not open so this is not an option. It's also a waste that they only installed 2 holders/side, as there's room for three at least.
