The model PF-55TT-5 ($1,295) has 4 tubes with 8″ diameters that will handle fish up to 20 pounds (special reducer inserts are available for smaller baits), plus a small center tube for holding a smaller pitch bait. Both tanks are fully plumbed and come with either L-brackets or a quick-disconnect mounting pad. Kodiak Marine Products, Simi Valley, CA; (805) 583-0373.
