BostonFisher: I have used rod tube mounted swivel base downriggers (Penn) on my 210 CC for 3 years and am quite happy. I should note that I have gone through one perko rod tube in the process - the bottom of the tube has a plastic fin which fits into notches on the dowrigger tube to keep it from spinning. I broke this when I dragged a ball. They swivel based doesn't site right on top of the gunwale - about 1.5 inches off - but it doesn't bother me enough to cut off the aluminum tubes and redo.

Good luck.....Barry
