    I'm guessing, but it looks like a late fifties 265 Express. Good find.

      Marty had one of those.. Its surprising that it had so small of a cabin bulkhead. Pretty much open.
      He had it on the Vets cruise in Tacoma one year.
      In fact, I think its on the main website as part of the rotation if pictures. (Which I plan on adding to some day soon I hope)

                  Greg, my brother (welder/fabricator) solved this problem for my father's Tolleycraft. He built 90 degree brackets that lock into a thin socket that mounts on the inside of the gunwale so that you don't have to have a flat, horizontal, surface. Best part, they are easily removable when not in use!

                  I will try to hunt down a picture tomorrow.

                    Thanks Brian, I do have down rigger mounts on my Skagit. They are located on both sides of the splash well which makes it a long reach to use them. If I could bring them forward a food that would be great.

                      Greg, here are a couple pics I dug up. The mounts on the boat now are powdercoated aluminum and will be replaced with stainless steel (pictured on the table).
