Hi guys, looking to see what some of you have done to store rods. Currently have a 2001 330 Express with no cabin rod storage besides on the beds. Any help is appreciated!

Mine has overhead storage for 8 rods, 4 per side. I believe that was standard from factory. I've seen other 330's where people installed similar racks on the aft berth ceiling as well.

My Islander interior rod holders. Original GW factory. Excuse the mess. They work great. 6 rods on port side. 2 on starboard. You can jamb more in with velcro straps. Port side has 2 more I use for short kite rods.

The two options were those (rod holders in cabin and aft ceiling rod holders). You can probably do something else custom, but they are going to be insight and possibly in the way.

I think that you would have to expect to through bolt them, to support the weight and the leverage from a pounding boat. Oh wait, it's a Grady White, so no pounding, maybe just some two-sided tape!
