Location: Madison, WI | Had 9' in mine as well, no issues. Wanted to check the top rack capacity, and it just keeps snowing...and snowing... and snowing.

my Tuffy 1890 back in 2007 would take 8'6" rods easily, but only on the top row. a 9'er could just barely fit but the tips would bump/bend out of the tube against the front of the boat.
as noted in the discussion linked to above, Tuffy went away from side tank rod-lockers in order to increase cockpit space. the in-wall design being used on the Skeeter 1825 is a great way to get both things: long rod capacity and open cockpit. and my experience with the guys at Skeeter Boat Center in Chippewa Falls is that they will treat you right.
