Rod Holder Mounting Question

I'm considering purchasing a used '04 17CC Triumph and I've just about made the decision to buy. I'm buying for almost strictly fishing purposes, other then entertaining the in-laws, and was curious to hear what people have done for rod holders on their 17CC models. I would like to have two, one on each side buy the CC seat and then one on each side near the back of the boat. The end game would be to have a spread where you have two adjustable holders on the side and then two adjustable holders in the back to fish four rods while trolling etc. The boat I'm looking at has the front bow rail and I thought I could mount the two side rods to the beginning of that, although they would be a little more forward then preferred. I'm stuck with the two for the back because the '04 doesn't have the pre-built-in rod holders there. I was thinking that I could install about a 3 ft. long grab rail on each side towards the back so I could then attached the rod holders to that and I think it would be a nice improvement to the boat overall. I want the hoders to be romovable so I'm not looking to do anything permanent other then adding the rails that I just mentioned. I would appreciate any advice or examples of what other people have done to their 17CCs to make them good fishing machines with efficient rod spreads. Thanks a bunch! Pictures would be huge!!!
