The year thing makes more sense. By that time they went to the side loading rod storage in the gunwale so those are wider. Personally I hate that design. Mine is older with the top loading boxes that are the same height as the deck so my rods not in use can just be set on top of those. Longer rods don't fit inside of them anyway.

Still don't have an issue flipping baits past the trolling motor. You just swing them out a touch farther and implement more of a side arm into it and problem solved. Since I put an ipilot on my boat I fish from the back about 90% of the time and still really don't run into issues with the side height becoming a pain.
