I have a small boat that doesn’t really have gunnels on it and would like to have rod holders for either the seats (bench) or the boat sides. Any suggestions? They don’t need to be fancy.

Are you opposed to drilling 4 holes @ 1/4″ each? Scotty bases with through bolts mounted just below the gunnel rail on the inside. Stainless pan head bolts would look fine IMHO. Scotty Bases

This is exactly what i did with mine and it works great. I have a smaller mid 70’s 14 foot Alumacraft
September 17, 2012 at 9:25 pm #1099350Rod holder for use on aluminum boat. Is this what you are looking for?
September 17, 2012 at 9:43 pm #1099353I put a long bolt through my oar lock then through a 2×4. I cover the 2×4 with carpet then screwed the rod holders to the 2×4. I used a wingnut on the bottom of the board in case I have to take it off on the lake.
