Default Bert's tracks on Reata 1850?

ok. so I'm thinking of getting Berts tracks and the Cannon dual axis rod holders on my boat...but....the tracks don't look like they will fit flush. Any suggestions how to get these mounted so they look good and are near flush?

Anyone have pictures of Bert's tracks on their Reata please post so I can see how you did it? TIA

Jinx,
This is not my boat, but berts tracks on a 2050. They offer a cover (I believe) that allows u to step on them.

Lots of places carry them.

Google Berts Track Systems
This one came up for me.

Berts makes a great product. Cisco fishing systems started making their own track last year. They really make a great product and their finish is great.

Nice set up. To me this makes more sense to me than using a clamp on rod holder on a grab rail.

Knot Tellin,
Like I said, this isn't my setup.

I have rails. Here is my setup.

I like the rails for something to grab onto getting in and out of the boat when in storage. I also like them to attach my VHF antenna too. Passengers use them to hold on when I drive.

I think both have their pros and cons. The tracks would be nice to step on at the dock, but I get in at the front of the boat so I don't care.

I've got both rails and tracks on my WX1850. However I was checking out James Holst's WX2100 with TraxTech Tracks the whole length. Pretty sweet set-up.

aren't your rod holder bases on backwards? I had them on like that at first too...until I lost one in the drink.

I guess they could be, not sure what would be backwards though? They are rock solid. I can loosen up the nuts in the boat and move them back and forth this way while fishing.
