Congrats on your "new boat"! You're going to love it! As for the rod holders, I know a couple of folks that have installed them but it is very tricky and a bit of a pain. The gunwales are just barely wide enough to get the rod holders in so if you are off even just a little, you have big headaches. Also, there are tubes that run along the gunwales about 3-4 inches down to make it easier to run wires, etc. You have to cut through that and remove the foam filler as you go.

If I might ask, do you need the rod holders for your down riggers or do you need them to hold rods while using the down riggers? There may be easier alternatives.

Again, congrats on you boat and please post some pictures when you get time.
