I am looking at buying a new boat and want to mount the rod holders on a rail, so I don't have to drill big holes for the flush mount holders in the fiberglass. Does anyone know where I can buy rails to mount on the boat?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help guys that is what I was looking for. The other question I have is how do you guys mount these on fiberglass boats. I have a tin boat now and can reach up under the gunnels to put washers and bolts on. The boat I am looking at is 1785 Yarcraft Millacs and there is no real way to get under the gunnel that I can see.
Thanks for any help.

The rails have the option of stud mount or
screw mount. The stud mounts are a bit tricky
to install. I built a seperate template for each
rail. Sounds like you will need the screw mount.
